Guild AGM 2015-16 Naseby
29 - 31 Jan 2016
Mike Peters writes:
All Guild Members are reminded that the AGM will take place
at Naseby at the end of January. The date has been changed from November in
order to de-conflict from the ever lengthening guiding season in Europe. The
format for the weekend is already taking shape and Council is pleased to
confirm that we will be having a battlefield walk on the Friday afternoon,
followed by a very relaxed evening quiz. The rest of the weekend’s programme is
coming together and further information will circulated in the coming weeks.
The projected cost for the weekend is anticipated at £200 per head, Tony Smith
will be distributing attendance returns this month. Please mark the weekend in
your diaries and ensure that you can be there.
