Orlando Oldham, member of council from 1970-1975 gave the Society the occasional table which he privately commissioned John Makepeace to design. The table is made by a combination of turnery, joinery and carving from a single tree of English burr elm, the burr being a natural phenomenon giving rise to the highly complex and decorative grain.
