IHBC SE Branch Chair and Trustee Jo Saady writes:
We have put together a great informative and social day at Pevensey Castle, Kent, and I’d like to invite you to come along. Kids and dogs, all are welcome!
This is going to be a super day, and as we all work so hard, it’s worth taking the time to pamper yourself and count CPD points! A perfect treat – 10 till 4.
I have always found that IHBC local branch events help strengthen networks as we share stories and experiences. This promises to be a lovely informal day out. Bring a picnic!
English Heritage are providing a guide for a talk, but we will also be free to roam the castle and generally enjoy this fantastic space for a day.
If I can persuade people to join French cricket I’ll be a happy lady… or maybe croquet… anyone have a set?
And do pop in or out as well if needs be!
