A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us at our very special 2024 AGM celebrating 30 years of CLAS at Regent’s University London. It was truly a delightful occasion enjoyed by all!

The day was brimming with activity, celebrating CLAS’s 30th year with enthusiasm. We extend our warmest congratulations to the prize winners and express sincere gratitude to all the exhibitors, demonstrators, and speakers, as well as to the Walker sisters and family for their exceptional efforts in orchestrating such a splendid event.

We’re excited to announce the appointment of a new Chairman to CLAS, Sue Hodgkinson, who brings a wealth of experience to the role. A special mention also goes out to our outgoing Chairman, Tony Woodhams, for his dedicated three years of service to CLAS.

We cannot overstate the importance of our volunteers, whose unwavering dedication and support are the backbone of CLAS. Without their invaluable contributions, events like these simply wouldn’t be possible.
