The Wedgwood Society of Great Britain
For those in London prior to the seminar, we will have a joint meeting with the London society on Saturday evening, 6 June. It will be early, probably 5.30-ish, so that folks can make later dinner plans. It will be in/near our London hotel, the Copthorn Tara. We will have a long "social" gathering and hear a lecture on "The Bentley Sale".

DRESS REHEARSAL FOR TROOPING OF THE COLOURS - On Saturday morning, 6 June, is a dress rehearsal for the Trooping of the Colours or Queen's Birthday parade the next week. All the pomp, bands & music, bearskins hats, horses, costumes, etc., etc. of the real parade....just no Queen!! People fill in for the royals in the coaches, but aside from that it is all the same. Line up somewhere on The Mall around 10.00am. The parade ends at the Horse Guards Parade Grounds for a band concert and troop review for which tickets may be had at great difficulty. But the parade is the thing. It doesn't get much more British than this!
