Back         150th Anniversary index        

in 2017 the Cardiff Naturalists' Society is celebrating it's 150th Anniversary and we have an exhibition at the Cardiff Story Museum
These pages are provided to give additional information we were not able to fit in the exhibition

The list below is of our Presidents. The list is provided in the order that they took that position. Some presidents served more than once, and therefore appear at multiple places in this list. It was intended that through the course of this 150th year of celebrations that this page would be completed and that was commpleted in 2018.
