I am happy to report that 2015 was a red-letter year for The History Network! The Birmingham History Network is just about to hit its first anniversary: during the year, we have gained 712 members and hosted 24 visits, talks, and tours. The Berlin History Network, now a year-and-half old, has grown from 152 members in February 2015 to 478 members as of writing. Five events have been hosted in Berlin. Feedback from our members and the places we have visited has been highly encouraging, to say the least.
It is truly inspiring to see such these successes. I would like to thank our organisers, our members, and the institutions and tour guides who have played host to us over the last year for these achievements. I hope we can continue our good work in 2016 and wish everyone in The History Network a happy New Year!
Changes
It is with sadness that we have to announce the resignation of Lesley Peat from her role of main organiser of The Birmingham History Network. I would like to thank Lesley for her contribution over the last half a year and wish her success in whatever the future holds. Lesley did sterling work organising trips such as the extremely popular participation in a talk on the Art and Science of the Lunar Society at the Barber Institute for Fine Arts.
This means that Lars Kabel has now taken over as the principal organiser of The Birmingham History Network. I would like to thank Lars for taking on this new role and wish him the best of luck. I am extremely confident that his vision for the group will take it to new and exciting places.
Dr J. M. White
