DAVID WALKER MEMORIAL LECTURE

DAVID WALKER MEMORIAL LECTURE

Please see the below flyer for this year's David Walker Memorial Lecture to be held at 7pm Thursday 12th November 2026 at Derby Grammar School.

We though that this year the focus should be a little different in an attempt to relate to the younger audience and indeed 6th formers from the school and also Derby High School.

The speaker is an alumni of Derby High School and has had an interesting career so far which I am sue will resonate with a lot of people young and old. Please put the date in your diary for what should be a very intersting presentation.

Graham Bennett

Chair
