Dear all Please find below details of the autumn meeting of the ARA South West region, which is being held on 6th October at the REME Museum, Lyneham. If you would like to attend, please let me know before the 1st October - and if you wish to have an additional museum ticket, please let me know the name of the person you would like to bring. Our next meeting will be on Saturday 6th October at the REME Museum, Lyneham: http://www.rememuseum.org.uk/ This meeting will include an update on CPD by Chris Sheridan, who also spoke at our summer meeting, and the rest of the day will be devoted to military archives. We will also be holding our regional meeting. The programme is available below. Please note that tea and coffee will be provided on the day, but no lunch will be provided. There is a café on site at the REME Museum which you are welcome to purchase lunch from, or please bring your own. You will notice that there is a tour of the archive taking place at the end of the day. We are very grateful to the museum for also allowing us to go round there after the archive tour, if we want to, and any delegates are being allowed free entry. The museum has also offered a limited number of free tickets for family members, so if you want to bring someone to go round the museum with you, please let me know. This will be on a first come first served basis, and only one free ticket extra per delegate, so any further tickets will need to be purchased. Please remember to email me on [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> if you do want to reserve a free ticket for a family member, to avoid disappointment.
