The first event in our 2009 programme will be the AGM and luncheon at The Old Deanery Hotel in Ripon. Owner and Chaîne member, Mrs Linda Whitehouse, is looking forward to hosting this event and to meeting those Yorkshire members whom she has not yet had the pleasure of welcoming to The Old Deanery since its refurbishment. This AGM will be an important forum for discussing the future of the Bailliage and it is hoped that as many members as possible will attend.
