CDFAS  LECTURE PROGRAMME  2007 - 2008

LECTURE PROGRAMME - Tuesdays 11.00 a.m.
Notices and Lecture start at 11.00 am prompt. From September 2007 we will be meeting at Cliff College, Calver, Derbyshire.

It is good to report that Programme Secretary, Vivienne Milburn has put together the lecture programme for the 2007/08 season, and has worked with Visits and Study Day Organisers to develop a theme for the season. It would be extremely helpful if anyone could offer occasional hospitality to visiting lecturers

Vivienne has advised that she will be giving up the post of Programme Secretary at the end of this season and we wish to offer this to any member of Cavendish DFAS who would  be willing to come forward.  Please give this your careful consideration. 

LECTURE PROGRAMME FOR 2007/2008
