Annual General Meeting

These days we have only two meetings a year, including our AGM,  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 of the page.

General meetings

Unless stated otherwise, meetings are normally held at the Institute of Historical Research, University of London, Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1 (nearest tube stations Russell Square, Tottenham Court Road, Goodge Street and Holborn). Proceedings start at 2.15pm, unless noted below. Entry is free and MBS members may invite non-member visitors to attend.
