This 5th issue of our IHBC Branches Update reviews local CPD opportunities – and much more – currently on offer from our Branches across the UK!
Members and non-members can browse IHBC Branch and partnering events ranging from the restoration of Manchester Town Hall to thatching in East Anglia, as well as our upcoming Annual School in Belfast, the major UK event for the period.
And for these and other CPD opportunities also don’t forget to check out the IHBC’s online Event Calendar.
DOWNLOAD the PDF or continue reading below.
ALWAYS BE SURE TO BOOK AND CHECK WITH THE BRANCH FOR LATEST DETAILS!
The IHBC’s new monthly Branch Update on proactive local voluntary activities and training events combines updates on the full range of IHBC Branch-related events across the UK as well as reports on and links to our Branch activities and reports.
All the Branches are encouraged to send feedback. Please discuss this during your next Branch meeting and follow up with Carla on what you think by emailing at support@ihbc.org.uk.
You can also share this NewsBlog with any colleagues interested in heritage but unfortunate enough not to be members of the IHBC, in case they might gain from the hard work of our uniquely proactive Branch network. They might also be reminded that in many cases the free events are not necessarily free to non-members, and IHBC members usually get priority, so always be sure to check out the details with the lead Branch.
