BEWICK SOCIETY ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Saturday 24 September 2011

This year we are grateful to Newcastle City Library for allowing us to hold our AGM in their splendid Bewick Hall once again.

After the business of the AGM we will be showing a nostalgic short film 'The Bewick Man.' This documentary, made in the 1980s as a North East BBC production, takes the form of an interview with the Society's President Iain Bain in his home and discusses his enthusiasm for Thomas Bewick.

We acknowledge our thanks to the BBC for permission to show the film to our members and to the Natural History Society of Northumbria who own the copy of the original film.

Date and time: Saturday 24 September at 2.00 (AGM) for 2.30 (film).
Venue: The Bewick Hall, Newcastle City Library, Charles Avison Building, 33, New Bridge Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8AX.

Bewick Society

Bewick Society

The aim of the Bewick Society is to promote an interest in the life and work of Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) and related subjects, especially with regard to wood-engraving. The Society publishes a journal called the Cherryburn Times, normally twice a year. This provides a forum for the activities of the Society and keeps members informed about the latest research into the life and work of Bewick and his apprentices. Members publish articles about their own special interests where relevant to the Society. The Society also arranges visits to special collections, some of which are not normally open to the general public. It encourages the development of facilities for conservation and display of Bewick related materials, including wood-engraving as practised by those following in Bewick’s footsteps.
Membership of the Society also gives free admission to the museum at Cherryburn, where Thomas Bewick was born, now in the care of the National Trust.
