JGSGB Mini-Conference reminder

Dear All,

This is a reminder that booking is now open for the half-day mini-conference which is replacing our usual Annual Conference this year and will be Zoomed into the homes of attendees.

There will be no restrictions on the numbers attending so we look forward to welcoming members from around the globe and especially those who would not normally be in a position to join us.

There will be a small charge for registration to cover the Society’s costs. This will be £5 for members and £10 for non-members. The charge will cover all persons within a household and using the same electronic device.

We hope that next year we will be able to have a live event and have booked the Jewish Museum for the 31st October 2021 in the hope that life will have returned to some semblance of normality.

The programme for the mini-conference can be found on our website at https://www.jgsgb.org.uk/content/jgsgb-mini-conference-25-october-2020
