RO (to be confirmed) As we are still under-booked, I would like to open up the workshop to members of neighbouring regions who might be interested. I would like to stress that the afternoon is designed not just for registration candidates, but also their referees. The workshop would also be useful to those who are thinking about joining the Registration scheme, and would allow them to find out more before taking the plunge. There is as yet no charge for the workshop itself, although there may be a nominal charge of a couple of pounds on the day to cover the cost of tea and coffee (depending on whether I can get in touch with the Library's Catering Corps...) Anyone else who is interested in attending, please e-mail me at this address, or phone/write to the address below. I look forward to hearing from you all, David Bishop Archivist Birmingham City Archive Central Library Chamberlain Square Birmingham B3 3HQ 0121 303 2468 ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
