Members are invited to our AGM to have a say in the future of DFHS.  Vote on proposals for future membership structure and fees and vote in your committee for 2026-2027.  If members cannot attend they are encouraged to vote by proxy – as this will count towards the quorum we required for a valid AGM to be declared.    Proxy voting forms and reports will be published in the member area of the website (Society meetings).  

The AGM will be followed by a talk by Brian and Jacqueline Sutton

Jacqueline is a retired English teacher, whilst Brian spent many years in amateur theatricals, property management and theatre management before retirement. Whatever the subject, they believe in presenting it in an entertaining way with the odd quirky fact and amusing tale as they go along (as they say – snoring is so off-putting).

This is the story of a literary genius. Charles Dickens had a controversial private life and this presentation covers his social campaigning, his humour, the stories and characters. From ‘A Christmas Carol’ to ‘Pickwick Papers’ to ‘Oliver Twist’ and much more.
