ERTF newsletter - Autumn 2015

The ERTF newsletter is now available to all ERTF members, who should have received a copy by email. Copies of this and all previous newsletters are also available to members through the ERTF website.  

This latest edition includes reviews on the ERTF conference plus other places of interest, and an extensive "what's on" guide.  There is also information regarding a visit being organised by our Cambridge rep, open to all members.

Deadline for articles to be published in the next newsletter is 15 January, with the Winter 2016 newsletter due from 1 February 2016.

Newsletter now available

Just to let you all know the latest edition of the newsletter is now available through the ERTF website.  I did not get much in the way of contributions but I am hoping there is still plenty of different and unusual snippets of information and less than the run of the mill exhibitions and events.  I wanted to publish early because there are some exhibitions and events that are finishing soon that are really worth visiting if you can.

I can take any reviews or information about exhibitions now - the next newsletter will be published by 1st February 2014 so if you are involved in something in late winter/early spring let me know.  I shall be at the November conference so even if your typing is not up to much just bring it on paper and I'll type it up for you.  Even a torn out bit of info about some interesting textile news will be great.
