The 2004 AAGB Weekend Meeting

20th Members' Weekend

          June 18th  - June 20, 2004

Halifax Hall

Endcliffe Vale Road

Sheffield

 

Welcome to our 20th Members' Weekend

An Event To Celebrate

This year is a very special year for the AAGB as 2004 will be our 20th weekend. Some of us will remember every one and I am sure there will be a healthy dose of reminiscing and story telling especially when the photos start circulating. 

Once again our event will take place at Halifax Hall. Accommodation is clean and basic but the welcome is very warm and the food is excellent. Anyone (members only of course) staying overnight will receive a subsidy from the AAGB of £10 per night. Please note we will not be able to purchase individual meals from the server on Saturday lunch as the students will have already left for the summer break.

This year we have an excellent selection of presentations, I’m sure you will agree, to compliment previous years contributors.

Thank you to all who make this weekend possible. Have a safe journey and see you there. 

Best wishes,

Chris
