As the room at the Record Office has a seating limit and this event may attract more than the usual Annual Meeting attandance, places must be booked in advance so that we can manage the numbers attending. Note that this is free for members, for non-members the cost is £2.
In order to book a place, please email Jane Giffould at jgiffould@aol.com
Give your name and email address.
If having booked a place you find you are unable to attend, please let Jane know as we will be maintaining a waiting list after all places are taken.
There is no parking at the Record Office apart from three disabled parking spaces. However, the new bridge across the Chelmer from the Baddow Road car park to the Record Office is now open, so Baddow Road is the nearest car park just a few minutes walk across the river.
