The minutes of the 2014 AGM are attached. They will also be
put up on the website.
Dublin Event
Secretary writes:
Last week I noted that there would be an admin change of £30
per head for those attending the upcoming Dublin Event. It has been decided
that this fee will be waived for this event because there is no requirement for
meeting facilities etc. There will be conference fees for for standard Guild
Events involving use of conference facilities and elements which incur expense
etc. The Council will review each event on a case by case basis.
Esprit Tour Services
Secretary writes:
We are pleased to welcome Esprit Tour Services as a new
Guild Partner. The company offers First and Second World War tours and further

I would like to remind members of the following:
1. The payment window for membership fees

payment to the membership secretary at mbr.sec@gbg-international.com if
payment is made by Bank Transfer.
3. A guide on how to pay can be found at http://www.gbg-international.com/bank_account.html
