New SPR President!

At the SPR Council meeting on 18 June 2015, Professor John Poynton, our long-serving Hon. Secretary, was elected President of the Society.  The role of Hon. Secretary has been taken by Professor Donald West.  At the same time Dr David Rousseau stepped down as Hon Treasurer and was replaced by retiring President Dr Richard Broughton.

In recognition of his sterling service over the past four years as President, Dr Broughton was elected a Vice-President of the Society.

This is Professor Poynton’s second term as President, a position he also filled in 2004-7.
