So the saying goes, but this is definitely true for the next general meeting of the NSW Branch of the Richard III Society on 13 August.
Volume 4 of our branch journal, The Chronicles of the White Rose, is at the printers and should be ready later this week or early next week. All members of the NSW branch receive a copy as part of their subscription. Members attending our general meeting on 13 August will be the first to receive their copies – they will be handed out at the meeting. Copies for those, who are unable to attend, will be mailed later.
That is one good thing for our August meeting.
Good thing no. 2 is that the meeting is our “Scrabble Speakers Day” when 3 speakers will be revealing the subjects they have chosen for the session. Once a year members draw Scrabble tiles out of a bag and then prepare a short talk on a topic starting with their letter. This year Judy will present something starting with the letter “T”, Jane will talk on “N” and Xavier drew “D” .
And the third good thing is that we’ll hear from our travellers who went to the biennial convention of Australasian branches of the Richard III Society, which is taking place in Melbourne, 5 to 7 August. These gatherings are always enlightening and enjoyable – and frequently give ideas for how develop our own activities, so it will be interesting to hear what those attending can report.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the meeting!
