Norwich & District Graphical Society

Many thanks to Dave Gladwell for sending in these pics, which commemorate Norwich and District Graphical Society amalgamating with the National Graphical Association.

Says Dave: “When I was the Branch Secretary of the Norwich & District NGA Branch we used to have an NGA Branch magazine as the page explains.
In it one month of 1989 we included the subs record kept by Arthur Steele when this member wrote in.

What magnificent men our forefathers of the Trade and Chapel were. The detail and accuracy reflects all that the Crafstman executed as he controlled the Chapel with the same disciplines that he conducted his profession.
