Martin Newman said… Thanks Susan, I was aware of the lecture on the 17th and am planning to attend. In fact it was only after seeing it advertised that I became aware of the William Shipley Group and joined it on here and I'm interested in knowing more about the history of the RSA. I wonder how many Fellows of both there are today, can think of 4 who I know. Are you going to be there on the 17th? I've offered to sign in a member of the RSA staff as a guest, but he hasn't got back to me yet, if he doesn't want to attend I'd be willing to sign in a William Shipley Group member.

Jonathan Michael Woodham said… - Hi Susan
I'm not entirely sure that I've successfully joined the William Shipley Group - if not maybe I'm doing something wrong. If there's anything I can contribute I'd be happy to do so.
I'm not aware of ongoing research on Gordon Russell and his philosophy but will ask of others maybe better placed to know..
Best wishes
Jonathan

Review of RSA Fellowship nings, social networks
Over the next few months the RSAde Group will be consolidating regional social networks and nings.
The aim will be to improve connectivity for Fellows, improve communication and reduce fragmentation.
If you would like further information on these changes please contact the RSAde team via the Digital Engagement group on this network.
