Winter newsletter

Calling all ERTF members - the winter newsletter is due to come out at the beginning of February and I need some articles!  Reviews of exhibitions, perhaps something about a relevant gift you got for Christmas or anything else you think might interest ERTF members.  If you are not confident writing an article, just send me some information (for instance on an exhibition coming up) and I can put it into a format to let other members know.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon - Janette, newsletter editor - newsletter1@ertf.org.uk
