· Remember to bring your museum’s leaflets for a leaflet swap during the day.
· Lunch: Please bring a packed lunch. Tea and coffee will be provided. Although sandwich vans do call at Somerset Heritage Centre, they do not call at set times and it would be unwise to rely on being able to purchase food on the day.
Election of officers and committee members:

Mrs Barbara Gilbert, Fleet Air Arm Museum, RNAS Yeovilton, Ilchester, Somerset, BA22 8HT. Contact Barbara with any queries.

Any members are welcome to attend the meeting and Natalie will give everyone an overview of the site and the ability to update it in her report immediately after the lunch break.
For the hands-on training that follows, pre-booking is essential. Due to the limited number of laptops available for the training session, this will be limited to one person per organisation/museum. Book your place by contacting Barbara Gilbert via email or telephone 01935 842623.
