SUMMARY:Annual General Meeting of Yorkshire Waterways Heritage Society
DESCRIPTION:Annual General Meeting. \nAs a registered charity YWHS holds a meeting every year to conduct the formal business of the Society with supporters present.  \nThis meeting is for those who have registered as supporters of the Society by midnight on Saturday 9 May\, 2026 entitling them to vote on matters arising during the AGM. Joining instructions will be sent out to those registered supporters during week commencing 11 May\, 2026. To attend the meeting you will simply need to have a PC or a mobile phone connected to the internet. If you can already see this website\, you will be able to log on to our AGM.  \nThe format of the meeting will be: \n\nChair’s annual report on our activities for the year 2025-26.\nPlans for the next twelve months and beyond.\nFinancial report for the year.\nElection of Society officers for the coming year.\nAny other business.\nPresentation: Artificial Intelligence and historic photographs.\n\nFor the first time our online AGM will include a short Powerpoint presentation. This year we have decided to talk about how the Society has been experimenting with using AI technology to enhance historic photographs. You will have heard much about the “threat” of AI but here we demonstrate how AI tools are able to contribute positively to what we do as historians. By helping us to “illuminate ” old photographs we hope to show the younger generation that history need not just be seen in black and white.  \n

SUMMARY:Presentation to Pontefract and District Archaeology and History Society (PontArc)
DESCRIPTION:Presentation: Yorkshire’s Watermen. \nThe transportation of goods across pre motorway Yorkshire relied heavily on the watermen\, often accompanied by their families\, who piloted their well laden keels along the numerous canals and rivers of the county. David Scrimgeour shares his original research examining the extant Canal Boat Registers to see what extra insight they offer the family historian\, illustrated with real examples from watermen families across the county.
