I remember the AGM in 1975 or so when Cecil Thomas was thanked for donating Dora House (in the name of his wife) to the Society.

He was sitting in the all surrounded by members, beaming happily and enjoying the buzz. I think he died the following year.

I wasn't yet a member but a guest of my mother Marjorie Drawbell FRBS

Ahead of the Year of the Home in 2026 when we celebrate the Society's 50 years at Dora House, we asked members to share with us their personal memories of Dora House. We will be sharing them throughout 2026 as part of a programme of this milestone, marked also by the delivery of our project Creating a Home for Sculptors. If you have a memory you would like to share, you can still do so via this link.
