SUMMARY:Autumn Open Meeting
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAMME FOR THE DAY\n10.30 – 12.00 : FIBIS experts will be available to answer members’ questions \n12.00 – 1.00 : Lunch break \n1.15 – 2.15 : “Dear Daisy – the correspondence and memorabilia of Lady Isabella Couchman”\nBob Hindley‘s presentation is rooted in a fascination with the British Raj which began years ago\, after hearing the BBC Radio 4 series Plain Tales of the Raj. Later\, he purchased a long and fascinating letter from eBay\, which had been sent by Francis Couchman in Calcutta to his wife\, Isabella\, in England. Bob was hooked – and his quest to discover more about this family began in earnest. \n2.15- 3.00 : Tea break \n3.00 – 4.00 : “A Walk on the (slightly) Wild Side”\nGeraldine Charles\, one of FIBIS’ founder-members and now a hard-working\, long-serving trustee\, invites you to join her on a second walk on the slightly wild side of her research meanderings. It follows the very successful first “walk” which was enjoyed at last year’s FIBIS conference. Who knows what we may find on this one. Bring your own chota-pegs and tiffin! \n**Please register your intention to attend the Open Meeting via the FIBIS website. Names are required in advance by the Union Jack Club\, for security reasons. Numbers attending may also have to be limited\, so please book early. Any questions email margaret.murray@fibis.org.\nIn view of the current rail situation at the time of writing\, please check FIBIS website for latest updates before you travel and for directions to the Union Jack Club from Waterloo station.  \nALL WELCOME! ADMISSION FREE! \n*Donations for the second-hand book table welcomed.
