Booking
Thank you to all of those of you who have sent in your bookings forms; may I remind everyone else that in order to ensure you are booked onto the activity of your choice, we would urge you to send in your forms before the closing date of January 17th 2005.

Friday Evening 1st April
I am now able to confirm that the social Friday evening hinted at in the booking form is a drinks and canapé reception in the upper gallery of the wonderful surrounds of the Victoria Art Gallery, which is just round the corner from the Guildhall. The collection includes paintings by artists who lived in the Bath area, such as Gainsborough, Turner, Barker and Sickert.

AGM Lecture Saturday Afternoon: ‘Two Hands and a New Thimble’ - Textiles and Needlework in the World of Jane Austen given by Penelope Byrde
Understandably we have several enquiries from Members who, though they have chosen not to book either of the two packages available, would like to attend the AGM meeting and this fascinating Lecture in the afternoon.

I am pleased to say that once the package bookings have been processed, and I know how many seats are available, I will be able to take bookings for the AGM Lecture only, for which a separate charge will be made and a ticket issued. I expect this will be in January after the closing date.

AGM Meeting : 11am till 1.00pm Saturday 2 April.
Just a reminder that all EG Members are fully entitled to attend the AGM meeting, therefore those of you who wish to attend this part of the 2 days only do not need any ticket etc, but an indication to me of your intention would be appreciated in order that we can ensure your comfort. (020 8943-1229 ext 27)

For those of you who are attending outside the pre-purchased packages, morning/tea coffee from 10.00am will be available for you to purchase.

Should you have any enquiries concerning the AGM please contact Christine Cantello, tel. no. 020 8943-1229 Ext 27 or email :
