AGM Bromsgrove 2013



Thank you very much indeed to the Chairman, Secretary and Council for a really good weekend in Bromsgrove. I particularly enjoyed the two Fellowship Presentations that I managed to catch. The best aspect of the weekend was the number of keen new members who attended and it was a great pleasure to meet both them and the “Old and Bold”. As the Guild member responsible for closing the bar (unofficial but key role that I used to share with Wethers but now do alone) it was a relief to stay somewhere that did actually have a closing time and did not just stay open until breakfast. Food, especially the Guild Dinner, and all aspects of administration were spot on. As my retirement from the Army rushes towards me I will hopefully deliver of my “notes to self” to produce photos for website, article for Despatches and organise an event. On the latter Chris Finn and I are planning to combine to deliver a weekend in 2015 entitled “The BEF from the Maas to the Lys. May 1940” as an antidote to the wave of Great War tours we will all be doing

Thank you for the invite to the AGM. Steve and I found it most enjoyable and enlightening and it was great to make contact with some more guides who are interested in the project.

Gillian Ruff STG



I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the Guild AGM weekend and it was good to see so many people becoming serious guides. Great honour also to present the Will Townend prize – speech was off the cuff with ten minutes notice and slightly slurred due to high consumption of very good wine!
