The Royal Society of NSW inaugurated its Western NSW branch today. It was a pleasure to be a Fellow of the Royal Society of NSW and to have been introduced to other members at this meeting.
“The Royal Society of NSW is the oldest learned society in Australia and is celebrating its bicentennial year. The Society encourages ‘... studies and investigations in Science, Art, Literature and Philosophy’, and sponsors lectures by internationally leading figures, and debates. The Governor of NSW is the patron, and the Society supports regular ‘events@thehouse’ and an annual forum at Government House.”
I was very pleased to see that the linguist Professor David Nash is a committee member of the Western NSW branch and that Professor Stan Grant will be presenting the inaugural lecture on 19 October.
There were 22 people present and there are 25 members currently in the Western NSW branch.
