keithmroberts Posted 13 March , 2014 Share Posted 13 March , 2014 Alan - hopefully you will receive a cheque from a member of WFA Hants any day now following a circulation among members. He contacted me to confirm your address for payment by cheque. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 22 March , 2014 Share Posted 22 March , 2014 Alan Curragh has kindly given me the nod to have a table where I can sell some books. I have about 100 titles to bring, mostly recent or very recent, that I do not wish to keep and for which I don't have room. There are a few older ones in there too. All are in A1 condition. The revenue will go to provide a donation to GWF and also to the current project to erect a memorial to the Battle of Bellewaarde in June 1915. So, conference-goers, do make sure you are in buying mood and have plenty of cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Hartley Posted 22 March , 2014 Share Posted 22 March , 2014 I will have my last remaining stock of my 6th Manchesters and 17th Manchesters books with me. Bargain prices, of course. Price not yet decided but certainly bargain - trust me, I used to be a civil servant. Should you miss me, both available from Amazon, via the Forum link.

We shall be propping up the bar beforehand You could always upset certain members by bringing a wheeled suitcase and towing it back behind the car. After missing it last year, looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. What about that list of attendees, Alan?

David Ridgus Posted 23 March , 2014 Share Posted 23 March , 2014 Still a few places left - please contact me if you want to come Alan Alan If it is not too late I have one more taker. You know you're getting old when your daughter, who previously was happy to come with you on her own to the Conference, now would like to bring her boyfriend along! (He is another history graduate with an interest in the Great War so it's not all bad) If there is still a space I will do the paypal necessary asap David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
