Final arrangements have now been made for the programme of events at the Archive Open Day on Sunday 9th October. The Archive will be open from 10am to 3:30 pm. As well as being able to see our new room first hand, a selection of specific items from the collection will be on display and visitors will be able to browse the collection.
There will be 4 short talks on the day:
10:30 - Welcome and an overview of recent donations to the collection - Hugh Barnes
11:15 - Stan Edge - a brief talk from Chris Garner. Chris will also have copies of his booklet he wrote for the Centenary event which he will be selling for £5, all funds raised to go to the Alzheimers Society
12:00 - Lance Sheldrick will give a talk on some of the conservation work that he has undertaken on behalf of the Archive. Lance is a Picture restorer and frame gilder as well as being a long term Austin 7 owner
12:45 - The 'Military Album'. It's acquisition and conservation - Hugh Barnes, followed by a Military 'interpretation' by Richard Joyner, Archivist of the 11th Hussars Museum, Winchester
Tea and coffee wil be available and somewhere to sit to eat a sandwich (that you will bring with you!) otherwise, the Coach and Horses is within walking distance where Sunday lunch can be taken. It might be worth reserving if you are planning to do that, just to be sure... No food and drink is allowed in the Archive room.
I hope to see many of you on the day. If you have not yet done so, and are planning to attend, please send an RSVP to archivist@a7ca.org
