The Annual General Meeting of the London and South East Milling Society took place on a warm October evening in central London. Dozens of representatives from mills across the UK attended the event, which was held in the impressive headquarters of NABIM – the National Association of British and Irish Millers – in Arlington Street, Piccadilly.
The evening began with a thank you for the all the activities which took place in 2018, including a visit by the group to company Bühler. Treasurer of LSEMS David Ferns said, “It has been a great year with great support from across the industry.” Mr Ferns added that LSEMS was a sound financial state and the group was able to successfully keep the subscriptions at £40. “The accounts are safe and secure,” he said.
The itinerary for the rest of 2018 and 2019 was outlined, starting with the Christmas Fair at Arlington Street on December 11 and a international fayre. On February 12, a celebration of Chinese New Year will be held at a restaurant to be arranged. On March 12 there will be a talk by Sam Millar, Quality Director at Warburtons, which will also take place at 21 Arlington Street in London.
The Summer Technical Conference for LSEMS will take place in June, at a venue to be decided, and then in September the group will go on a trip to Jaguar Landrover in Solihull, followed by a visit to the National Motor Museum. The dates for these events are yet to be confirmed.
LSEMS then welcomed their new president: James Palmes, who is managing director of Michael Ross & Sons, technical yarns specialists based in Stockport, Manchester. Michael Ross supplies technical yarn to millers.
“I am extremely pleased and honoured to be elected President. I want to attract millers from across all sectors of milling – we have two new millers with us tonight so I see we have already started to do that.”
