CILIP Information Services Group (London & South East Section) has
organised two tours for this coming Autumn that you may be interested in
coming to.

*St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, Archives and Chapter Library*
*Tuesday October 30th, starting at 2.30pm.  **Book by Friday October 19th**
*
We have arranged a group tour of this very special collection located
within the precincts of Windsor Castle.  A Library has been in existence
here since 1348 and contains more than 6,000 rare books, while the Chapel
Archives hold deeds and other material relating to properties in 30
counties throughout England and Wales.  Because of its special location,
certain terms and conditions have to apply:

   - You will need to book your place by Friday October 19th.  We cannot
   accept bookings after this date.
   - We have to send names of visitors a week in advance, after which time
   no changes can be made.  If you have to cancel after this date, we will not
   be able to refund your cheque.
   - There is a charge of £10 per person, payable in advance.  Please send
   to Alan  Power at the address below a cheque made out to *CILIP - ISG
   (London & SE Section)* to confirm your place.  Receipts will be given on
   the day.  Unfortunately we do not have the facility to issue invoices.
   - We need a minimum of 12 people for the tour to go ahead.  If we do not
   reach this number, we will have to cancel the tour and cheques will be
   returned.
   - Photographic id will be needed on the day for entry (eg passport or
   driving licence photocard)


Apologies for these complexities, but we have to adhere to them.   Please
make sure that you have read these terms and conditions before applying.
You are very welcome to phone or email a provisional booking, but we will
need a firm booking by October 19th.


*The London Library*
*Monday November 12th, **starting at 6pm*
Founded in 1841 by Thomas Carlyle, the London Library is the country's
leading literary institution and now holds more than 1 million volumes.  It
is a subscription library with membership open to all.  The Library is
part-way through an exciting redevelopment project, which we should hear
about.  Please note the starting time.  The tour will last around an hour,
giving you time to travel home.  If you prefer, we will investigate the
availability of local pubs for post-tour refreshments.  (Recommendations
welcome)

For any further details, or to book a place on either visit, please contact.
