February 2025 Newsletter I guess the hot RPS topic is Simon Hill being asked to stay on as RPS President, beyond the maximum 6 years. He has been asked to do so by the current Board, to allow his successor to shadow him and then ease into position, and this move has been approved by the Board and Trustees, and by Privy Council. There is to be a general discussion meeting about this on Wednesday 12th February: https://rps.org/egm2025/? utm_source=Solus&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Tow n_Hall_Email&utm_content= And then an EGM on Thursday 24th April. Simon is keen that everyone exercises their right to vote, whichever way they intend voting. The bigger the vote the more democratic and the more re ective the nal result will be. If you’re unsure of the why’s and wherefores, or of Simon’s suitability to continue in this role, then can I point you in this direction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEXfH6i9ClA This was a chat night that Simon had with the Scottish Contemporary / Documentary Group, telling his story and journey. If you watch that, you’ll get a very much more idea of the Man himself, and can then make your informed vote count.
