The Lindley Association “Societas Lindleiana” celebrates in 2019 ten years of acitivity...
The Lindley Association “Societas Lindleiana” has been around for ten years!
On December 12, 2019, the Executive Board of the The Lindley
Society “Societas Lindleiana” (TL-SL)
met at a solemn meeting on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of our
organization. The National Court Register (KRS) entered us into the central
register of the Polish associations on November 23, 2009.
The application to the National Court Register for
registration was signed by a group of twenty one people, who are interested in
the history of Warsaw waterworks and sewage systems designed and built under
the supervision of four English civil engineers, William Lindley and his sons
William Heerlein, Robert Searles and Joseph.
In the past decade we have booked several significant successes. It includes, among others, the participation of our Board members in the preparation and publication in 2016 of the book Lindley plan 1912, and the placing a plaque commemorating the Lindleys at their English home in Blackheath.
In 2015, we managed to arrange invitation of Bill
(William V) Lindley to Łódź to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the water
supply, and in 2016 to Warsaw for the 130th anniversary of the water supply in
the former capital of the Polish textile industry.
In 2018, at the invitation of the organizers of the International Chopin Piano Festival in the heart of Warsaw, TL-SL became the Honorary Patron of this summer's most important cultural event in our capital.
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the
establishment of TL-SL, its president Prof. Ryszard Żelichowski has prepared a
new edition of the monograph. The Lindleys. History of the engineering
family (see the next information on this).
The resolution of the Management Board adopted at the meeting today announced the convening of the General Meeting of TL-SL members in the first quarter of 2020. by-elections to its authorities and the Board's presentation for the coming years of a new program offer to a wider audience.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the
Management Board of the Lindley Society "Societas Lindleiana" sends
its members and supporters the best Christmas wishes and implementation of
plans in 2020, those important and those less important, in professional and
personal life!
