East Anglia Branch AGM
Saturday 17 June, from 2 PM - 5PM

Conference Centre,St Edmundsbury Cathedral in Bury St. Edmunds. Map and directions here.

The AGM will be a bit different this year. We are trying a new day, a new time and a new venue. The AGM will be on Saturday 17 June, from 2 PM until 5PM at the Conference Centre attached to St Edmundsbury Cathedral in Bury St. Edmunds. The speaker will be Dr Mark Lewney, of the UK Patent Office, and winner of Famelab 2005. (See famelab for more information about Dr Lewney.) Those who have had the good fortune to attend one of his lectures tell me that he is well worth seeing.

We are planning to have the Planetarium there - the one that we sponsor and which has been so popular during the December Event and the Cavendish Laboratory Science Festival. There is lots to see and do in Bury St Edmunds, so bring the family and make a day of it. Bury St. Edmunds is a historical town, with the grave of Mary Tudor, the oldest domestic town house in East Anglia (Moyse House Museum), and a Georgian mansion (Manor House Museum, which includes a collection of old clocks and timepieces). Oh, and the Cathedral itself - it looks old, but was only finished last year. There are also several other churches in Bury that are well worth a visit.

If you prefer something lighter, there is a Saturday market for lots of shopping, and the Green King brewery. Visit the Abbey gardens (gorgeous in June). Or the Hidden Gardens of Bury St Edmunds.

We are planning to have a bus from Cambridge, for those who do not want to drive. For details, contact the vice-chair, Jeannette Fine (jeannette.fine "at" finerandd.com) closer to the date. If there is sufficient interest, we could run a bus from Ipswich. (If this might be of interest to you, please let Jeannette Fine know as soon as possible so we can see if the numbers are large enough to make the bus viable.)

We will send out an information pack by e-mail on things to see and do in Bury closer to the date. If you would like a paper copy, please contact Jeannette Fine.

Light refreshments will be provided before the AGM.
