It is to be a formal cocktail party so is a chance to dress up. There will be a luxury buffet, champagne and the owner Professor Flavia Swann will show small groups individually around the house. We have provisionally scheduled that it will start in a local hotel at 1.30 with illustrated talks. These will include a brief lecture on the history of Chetwynd and Len's first Bizarre Art of Clarice Cliff lecture. You then get time to change before departing for Chetwynd at 6 pm in the transport provided, which will also allow everyone to drink.
Members make their own accommodation arrangements.
In the event of over-booking tickets will be issued in order of bookings being received. Do not apply yet, full details will be in the next Newsletter. Professor Flavia Swann has spent much of 1998 giving the house and garden a facelift. The garden has new planting, based on Clarice and Colley's schemes, so it will look sparkling for 1999. As we have announced, she has agreed to hold a garden party with a marquee on the lawn, champagne arid strawberries.
