Manchester Town Hall by night

In spite of having retired from clinical practice nearly a year ago, I have had the honour of being President of the North of England Ophthalmological Society (NEOS) for the year ending this October. This is the biggest regional society of eye surgeons in the UK, with over 500 members.

Today & tomorrow we are holding a 2-day clinical meeting in Manchester to celebrate our Centenary, as the Society was founded in October 1914. Nearly half of our members are attending this meeting.

My blipfriend analogconvert13, from Boston, may be interested to hear that we have had a visiting lecturer from Boston. He came as a representative of our sister society in New England, which has the same acronym as our Society (NEOS).

It's been a busy day so this is a quick blip: we had a celebratory dinner in Manchester Town Hall this evening. It is a magnificent building as you can see from this photo.
