A one-day hot-mixed lime mortar seminar and workshop, hosted by the Weald & Downland Living Museum, has been arranged by the Building Limes Forum (BLF), an IHBC Recognised CPD provider, on 14 March, with reduced rates for all IHBC members (£90) and bursaries also on offer.
IHBC’s Chair James Caird said: ‘This is a great partnership with the BLF. It’s a real opportunity for members to broaden their awareness of practical skills and understanding of hot lime mortars. And as the event is designed for contractors, professionals and their clients, it’s particularly good for our early career members.’
‘The IHBC targets our support to where it is most needed, so if you are keen to get our support for your attendance, please make your case to us as soon as possible, remembering in your cover submission that our criteria for the awards have to balance relevance, need and, naturally, timeliness’.
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘Delegates will be able to benefit from an excellent line-up of speakers & tutors, not least as the programme is also supported by Historic England, so as well as a training opportunity, this is another great networking opportunity on offer from the BLF.’
BLF writes:
There are still places for the Hot-Mixed Lime Mortars one-day seminar and workshop on Tuesday 14 March at Weald & Downland Living Museum, Chichester, West Sussex.
This event is suitable for contractors, professionals and their clients who have an interest in the appropriate repair and conservation of traditional buildings and structures. The programme is for talks followed by demonstrations, delivered by a diverse team of craftspeople and consultants, sharing their knowledge and experience.
The support of English Heritage means that there are bursaries available for those who would find attending financially difficult. To apply, just send a note of your circumstances and, if possible, the name of somebody to vouch for you, to admin@buildinglimesforum.org.uk
