The Trafalgar Club

• Treasurer

  • Oct 2019 - Present

• Chairman

  • Oct 2013 - Oct 2019

  The Trafalgar club was formed in the autumn of 1983 and held its first meeting in the Trafalgar Room on Trafalgar Day at the Institute of Directors in Pall Mall, London. Initially, the club was called "1983 Committee" but immediately recognised the relevance of changing its name to The Trafalgar Club - especially as the club was primarily concerned to ensure that YMP's continued to have a voice in the affairs of the printing industry following on from the less than encouraging report published by Lord McGregor.Full membership of the club was initially restricted to past National YMP chairmen but, in practice, many former YMP's attend the annual meeting. In the mid 1990's membership of the club was extended to those YMP's who had excelled and been recognised by the award of the Collin's Quaich. This was first awarded in 1979 at the YMP Conference in Peebles, where James Collins presented the award to Paul Taylor.Bob O'Shea became Chairman and Nick Hutton Treasurer, both who remained in position for 30 years, until October 2013.Other inaugural members on that October day in 1983 also included Guthrie Pickering, Ken Pardy Sam Wass, Pat Howitt, Richard Butler, Bob Loach and Simon Tennent.Sincere apologies if I have missed out your name, let me know and I will add it immediately.
