MBS Meetings 

If you would like to go direct to a particular section, click the section headings below:

These days we have only two meetings a year, including our AGM, at our base in the Art Workers Guild in London, but instead prefer to get out and about, holding the remainder of our meetings around the country, often in churches where we can study brasses, incised slabs and other monuments in their architectural context. Although these meetings are very popular with members, many are unable to attend. So, from Spring 2005 we we will providing picture reports of our meetings, to supplement the full written reports that appear in MBS Bulletin. To see these reports, click on the Past Events bar at the top or side of the page.
