Coming in the Autumn

History of Architecture

It was decided to postpone the fifth session on 24th May  as it was Bank Holiday weekend.

It was agreed that there would be a new series of lectures in the Autumn - this time six lectures on the 4th Sunday of each month at 3-5pm as follows:

            2009:    25th October,  22nd November.

           2010:   24th January,  28th February,  28th March,  25th April 2010.

"The course will run for six, two hour sessions, taking place on the first and third Mondays of each month beginning 5th October 2009. Timings 1400-1600 hours each session.

Location: Harrogate Baptist Church conference suite, Victoria Avenue.

Membership News

Membership continues to grow steadily and is now heading for the 850 mark. On April 27th we held a meeting for New Members who have joined since 1 October 2008. Unfortunately this was not well attended.

I should like to remind members that the subscription for next year is due on September 1st, renewal forms will be sent out in August. Prompt renewal would be appreciated, if possible before the AGM on September 25th as this will help to spread the workload over a busy period.
