On Friday 19 April president of Liverpool Law Society, Gaynor Williams, was guest of honour at the Past Presidents’ Lunch held at the Athenaeum Club where Gaynor gave a mid-term report.
There was a record number of past presidents in attendance, spanning over 40 years, from HH Tony Ensor, president in 1981-82 to Jeremy Myers, Immediate Past President from 2022-2023.
Norman Jones, president in 2010-2011, was chair of the lunch, and said “Past Presidents had travelled far and wide to attend the lunch. Those attending this year were John Ballam, Donal Bannon, Steve Cornforth, His Honour Tony Ensor, Nina Ferris, Alistair Fletcher, Edward Goldsmith, Andrew Holroyd CBE, Glenys Hunt, Norman Jones (chair), John Leith, Alison Lobb, Barrie Marsh, Timothy Marshall, Paul McCarthy, Richard McCullagh, Jeremy Myers, Julie O’Hare (secretary), Peter Rhodes, David Swaffield and Chris Topping.
An excellent lunch was provided by the catering team at the Athenaeum followed by the loyal toast and an extremely comprehensive report by our guest of honour on the state of health of the Society. Gaynor’s financial analysis of the Society’s finances was so detailed virtually none of the past presidents had a question to ask on this aspect of her report.”
