The IHBC writes:
Welcome to the July issue of the CPD Circular.
As we look ahead to the coming months, we’re delighted to announce that the North Branch will be hosting an event on 4 July, in Newcastle upon Tyne, offering a Review of Historic Building Legislation, led by Charles Mynors. The North Branch are also the host branch for IHBC Annual School 2026, which will take place in June in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. We are pleased to say that preparations are already underway for what promises to be an exciting and insightful conference exploring the theme of Adaptive Reuse.
But before we look too far ahead, we would also like to take a moment to reflect on the success of this year’s IHBC Annual School 2025 in Shrewsbury, which explored the rich topic of Heritage in Context: Value > Plan > Change. The School offered a fantastic three days of tours, inspiring and informative talks and opportunities to celebrate and connect with others from across the heritage sector.
A special thanks goes to the West Midlands Branch Committee for their dedicated work in organising the School alongside officers at the National Office, and to our speakers whose contributions made for a compelling Day School programme, providing a wealth of valuable CPD for delegates, both in person and online.
We would also like to express our gratitude to this year’s sponsors; MFL Insurance, Velux and Berrys for their generous support, as well as to our exhibitors who shared their experience and expertise on the day. Thanks also to our award winners and the many volunteers who chaired sessions, led tours, and helped to ensure the smooth running of the conference.
And last, but by no means least, we would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our delegates, both in person and online, who helped to make it such an enriching and rewarding experience. We hope to see many of you once again next year in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
