The Globe Malthouse was packed for The Topsham Society AGM on the evening of Thursday 10th June. Marieke Biggs, who had been co-opted to the committee during the year, was elected as Secretary to replace Elizabeth Hubbick, who remains as Vice Chair. Shan Toyne was elected a Vice President. David Burley, a local architect, was elected as a committee member, replacing Geoff Bowen. The committee expressed its thanks to Geoff and its appreciation for the valuable experience and insights that he has brought to our work.

Following the formal business of the AGM, the Enhancing Topsham Award was presented to Maggie Butt and Steve Preston of the Topsham Community Association, for the excellent work in refurbishing Matthews Hall. The evening concluded with a talk from Lynn Trout and Jenny Lockett on “The Exe Estuary Partnership- a local update”. This was followed by a lively discussion, and Jenny Lockett agreed to pass on views raised to the relevant authorities.
