Honorary Life Memberships of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society have been awarded to Chris Hatton and Robin Jakeways by the Society’s Council. This is in recognition of the major contributions that they made to the Society over many years and in many roles.

Chris Hatton served with distinction as President (serving two terms) and as instigator and Chair of the Grants Committee, as well as making many other important contributions to the Society.

Robin Jakeways served with distinction as the founder and driving force behind the Events programme of the Society and the organiser and promoter of the annual Science Fair – perhaps our biggest and most successful public engagement event.

Chris and Robin each gave their commitment and support to Council for more than 20 years.

We wish Chris and Robin well and look forward to seeing them at future LPLS events.
