The Activities of the Society
September 2015 – August 2016
Mr WS Shand and Professor B Livesley retired from the
Court on 13 August 2016 at the end of their tenure, with
the gratitude of the Court for their long and exemplary
service. The Court was joined on the same day by Dr PJT
O’Mordha as Court Assistant.
2016 has been a year of change in the Society’s staff. After
13 years dedicated service as Clerk, following his
previous appointment of 11 years as Registrar, Mr
Andrew Wallington-Smith took a well-earned
retirement, for which the Society wishes Sarah and
himself well in their new house in Southwold. Andrew’s
successor is Mr Nick Royle, who joins us from the Royal
College of Veterinary Surgeon’s charity RCVS
Knowledge, having formerly served for nine years as The
Cochrane Collaboration’s Chief Executive.
A new Clerk’s Secretary joined us, Miss Rosanna Youssef,
and we also saw the appointment of an Assistant Clerk,
Miss Verity Mitchell, who will be managing the Society’s
events, and functions in the Hall.
In the Exams Office, Ms Rita Pulga returned to Italy, to be
replaced by Ms Smita Shah as Examinations Officer.
