Chinese Chippendale Chair
We are very sorry to learn that Patricia Rafter has been injured in a traffic accident
and is unable to give the above talk, to which we had been looking forward greatly.
Instead, we will bring along
and those present will choose democratically
which ones they would like to see. While this cannot make up for Patricia's talk,
we hope that it will nevertheless provide an enjoyable evening.a selection of DVDs related to China
(Patricia is agreeable to rescheduling her talk to next
season, so that is something to look forward to. Meantime, we wish her a speedy and complete recovery.)

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (8.00 pm)
This AGM, the 36th of the ICCS, gives the membership a say in the running of our society,
and an opportunity to become involved in its committee through nomination and election.
All members should have received full details by post, and are urged to attend.
This year again there is a
Special Event directly after the AGM:
a DimSum and Chinese Tea Reception.
This DimSum reception following the meeting is, we believe, a first for the Society, and we hope that it will prove popular.
