| Mon Feb 24th | Monthly Speaker Meeting Ripon Spa Hotel, 2pm The First Marquis of Ripon Speaker: Richard Taylor, Chair of Ripon Museums Trust Richard is Chair of the Ripon Museums Trust, a role which he says has been a great privilege and source of pleasure. It allows him to continue his interest in the heritage where he worked professionally in historic environment management for over 30 years most recently as the conservation team leader at Leeds City Council. As a chartered town planner specialising in built environment conservation he previously had experience of regeneration as the Ripon Project Officer for the former national charity, the Civic Trust. Since taking early retirement in 2010 Richard continues active involvement in local affairs as Vice-Chair of Ripon Civic Society and has been part of the team to devise and promote the Ripon City Plan. Following its approval he is keen to see the Plan delivering real benefits to the city. In the brief spare time left over he enjoys singing in Ripon Choral Society, exploring his native Yorkshire and beyond and admits to an addiction to cryptic crosswords and Radio 4. All welcome |
