>Members

>The new Drawing Research Network website (to be launched mid October) could

>addresses, provide access to minutes, etc etc but the issue of separate or
>combined membership lists should be determined by the members.

>I realise I am posting to the discussion group membership but, for now at
>least, most members of the Network are members of the discussion list.

>Advice gratefully received.

Even the weariest river winds somewhere safe to sea.
