ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING followed by a short talk by Stephen Slater

  Map   Meetings are in the Crypt Meeting Room at St Michael's Church (St Mike's) and start at 2:00 p.m. This is at the bottom of the junction of Broad Street / Walcot Street, opposite the main entrance to Waitrose store, and the main entrance is on the Broad Street side, opposite Green Street. Tea and coffee will be served downstairs, but just before the meeting, instead of afterwards. You also can purchase refreshments, if you wish to do so, from the cafe at St Mike’s, before the meeting.
         
        ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION to the society is £12 and we are always happy to welcome new members.
Visitors are welcome to attend individual meetings on payment of a fee of £3.
         
        PARKING in central Bath can be difficult - and expensive. The nearest long-term parking is in the Underground Car park under the Southgate Shopping Centre, but visitors to Bath, coming by car, are strongly recommended to use one of the four park-and-ride bus services - which all stop near the Bus Station, a few minutes walk from our meeting place.

 

Oxford University Heraldry Society continues its extended programme of lectures, and invites us and all others interested in heraldry to join in. Participation is free. Click this text to go to the OUHS website for the programme.
