Society Patron and President June 6, 2001 00:00 |
The committee are delighted to announce the appointment of both a Patron and a President for the Society.
John Powell, second son of Anthony Powell and Lady Violet Powell, has graciously agreed to be the Society's Patron. John has taken a keen interest in the Society since its inception and provided much valuable assistance with the planning of the 2001 conference.
The Society's President is Anthony Powell's long-time friend Hugh Massingberd. Hugh is not just an author, editor and genealogist but also the historian of The Ritz Hotel, setting for a number of scenes in Dance. As those who attended the 2001 conference will know Hugh is also an entertaining speaker with an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the literary and genealogical worlds. Like John, Hugh also provided valuable help in getting the conference off the ground.
Both John and Hugh bring to the Society a wealth of experience, knowledge and contacts as well as great warmth and friendliness. We are delighted that they have both agreed to be a part of the Society's development.
