Please write Saturday, 15 May 2010 in your diary now.  It’s when we hold our one-day conference at the North Sydney Leagues Club in Cammeray from 10am – 4pm.

We’re still in the planning stages, but there is a definite theme of Books and Bookmakers.  Already Margaret Patton from the State Library has agreed to speak on printing in medieval times with a special look at maps (something she currently manages at the Library);  Carol Gerard is longing to tell us about Caxton and his book The Discovery of Britain’;  and Isolde Martyn and Felicity Pulman, whose historical novels are so well known to us, are going to speak on the pleasure and problems of writing them.  The day promises to be as informative and enjoyable as our last ”mini conference” at Bundanoon in April 2008.

The North Sydney Leagues Club is very accessible by public transport and, there is plenty of car parking.   Lunch, morning and afternoon tea will be provided.  We look forward to seeing you all there – and remember that your friends and family are welcome to join us.  It’s not a Members Only event!
