Dear Colleagues, Apologies first of all for using the NRA-list for purely social purposes. Arrangements have finalised for our alternative 'Not the Dublin Conference' shindig. If you'd like to come along - and it's open to all, archivists, conservators, friends, hangers on, members of regions other than London - the details are as follows: We have tables reserved at the WHITE LION pub, Covent Garden, in the UPSTAIRS BAR, from 6PM onwards on THURSDAY 9th September. That's this week remember. If you get there late, you might have to stand, but apparently all the suits clear out by about 8 o'clock. Food is available at the bar, but I'm afraid that due to a computer mess-up which I won't explain, I wasn't able to arrange proper Irish grub early enough. Still, John the barman is Irish, honest. The WHITE LION is on the corner of James Street and Floral Street. As you come out of Covent Garden tube, turn right and the pub is on the right hand corner, not very many yards down. If you hit Books Etc, then you've gone too far. There's also another pub opposite, which has some sort of red animal in the title, but I can't guarantee such a good time if you go in there by mistake. Please pass details on to anyone who doesn't subscribe to the list, and who might be in need on a pint come Thursday. ALL WELCOME, and it will be great to see everyone. Look, if you don't come, I'm going to look like a really inept Training & Events Officer, so even if it's for just a swift half, than please come along... Oh, and if there are any queries, feel free to give me a call.
