Lynwood - Trustees

Board of Trustees

Don Galloway - Founder

Peter Hague - Chairman
Spiritual searching started after passing of 7 year old eldest son, Robert, in 1976 and soon led to attending Don Galloway's weeks at Stanstead Hall. Soon after creation of The Lynwood Fellowship, Peter succeeded David Smith as Treasurer and later took over from Don Galloway, following Don's ill health, as Chairman of Trustees, still filling both positions of service to Lynwood.

Barbara Hague - Booking Secretary
Spiritual searching started after passing of 7 year old eldest son, Robert, in 1976 and soon led to attending Don Galloway's weeks at Stanstead Hall, attending seperate seminars from Peter as child-minding was shared. Soon after Peter became Treasurer of Lynwood, Barbara was also invited to join the Board of Trustees and eventually succeeded Reta Pearson and Jeanne Coward as Booking Secretary and still serves in that position. Barbara and Peter have both trained as NFSH Spiritual Healers and have shared in the provision of healing at Lynwood seminars.

Janet Elliot - Secretary
I am what you might call an old Lynwoodian as I have been both student and tutor since the late eighties also having the priviledge of serving as a board member for a time resigning due to personal circumstances but I am now delighted to be invited back in to the fold and joining my spiritual family once more.
My love is encouraging others to discover their hidden talents both psychic and mediumistic. By taking awareness classes for over ten years in numerous churches covering all aspects and finding we learn much from others helping with our own personal growth. For the past twelve years I have been investigating and working with Numerology as a tool to understand more about why we react to certain things or events in the way that we do. I hold class b membership of SNU holding csnu for speaking and demonstrating since 1995.

Rod Atkinson - Website Editor
My introduction to spiritualism was in the 1980's when I sought and received healing which changed my life. Subsequently I have dedicated myself as a healer receiving full healing membership of the Lincolnshire Association of Healers and recently becoming a qualified tutor.
My first association with Lynwood was in 2004, I found the love and friendship was both moving and inspiring. In 2005 I was asked to join the Board of Trustees. I feel privileged and honoured to serve this loving community now and in the future.

Joe Wilcock - Fellow Trustee
My first association with Lynwood was when I attended one of it's earliest seminars at Stanstead Hall in July 1984. Impressed, I used to hold occasional raffles for Lynwood at the Spiritualist Church where I was president. In 1994 I was invited to work on a seminar for the first time as a medium/lecturer and have done so again numerous times since. This in time led to an invitation to join the board of trustees which I did in July 2000.

Barry Haden - Fellow Trustee
I came into Spiritualism some fifteen years ago, and found my own pathway very slowly, not accepting everything given to me without a great deal of thought. To-date I am still finding my way. I have served spiritualism in the main in an administrative capacity, although a few years ago I became a registered healer within the SNU. I have over the years chaired many Church Services and Healing Services. My passion is philosophy which on a few occasions I have given at Churches.
Having just been invited back on the Board of Trustees at the Lynwood Fellowship, I hope to give my services in any direction I am asked, and perhaps help other as well as myself in finding new avenues in the life’s pathway ahead.

Marion Hamilton - Fellow Trustee
I was introduced to Spiritualism about 33 years ago and at that time developed as a Trance medium, in a small home circle.
I am class B member of the SNU and have been doing education courses for about 25 years.
I have DSNU as a speaker, as well as A pass in the philosophy of Spiritualism. At present I have been doing Healing courses, the immediate course being Anatomy and Physiology which also ties in with all the therapies.
For the past two hears I have been using all the knowledge I have gained through SNU courses and experience gained through dealilng with customer complaints to help me use my therapies to be a volunteer with Healthy Valleys which is a government initiative, helping people in the community who are stressed, have depression, cancer, M.S., all conditions relevant to our society today.

Mike Doig - Fellow Trustee
It took until my mid-forties before I started to ask, and actively seek, answers to the important questions in life. Once started, this process continues, and it led me first into healing (NFSH) and later the Lynwood Fellowship, where I found a forum for ideas, debate, learning and companionship – the organisation is aptly called ‘fellowship’. In my search I have experienced many different groups and societies, but regard Lynwood as my base and ‘home’, and so am delighted and humbled to be asked to be a trustee. Most of my life has been spent teaching teenagers in a high school in Scotland, and I look forward to my coming retirement so that I can become more involved with ‘spiritualism’, and with the Lynwood Fellowship in particular.
