Maddie Goulder organised the last ever meeting of the 2007-2008 Executive including KLS members. Three members of the executive are graduating this year and were nominated for life time membership of KLS. The three KLS members who are graduating include, Holly Steel, Arjun Mittra, and Matthew Friend. Speeches were given to support the nominees by Karl Dodd and James Mitchell-Steele. It is with great pride all three nominees were ratified as life members of KLS. Foremost the remaining members of KLS wish all three life members a successful career in wherever they go, and whatever they do. Like KLS they will be a success. After the event drinks were in large supply at Origins for a final farewell.
