At our AGM in June, Laurie Atkins was elected President.
Laurie has been a member of the DSWAA since about 2016 and joined the committee in 2019 to lend support in the area of documenting dry stone structures.
He has been keen to develop his own practical skills at walling and has undertaken short courses and workshops with David long, Alistair Tune, Geoff Duggan, Josh Bowes and most recently Emma Knowles.
Outside of dry stone walls, Laurie’s training is in Agricultural Science and his professional work has involved data analysis and data collection design.
