Call the office on Fridays for further details. On this note of offering services, a reminder that the Annual General Meeting of the Guild will be held in January, and at least ome month previous to that date, the Nominating Committee will report to the member- ship the names of those members in good standing, nominated by the Committee, who are willing to stand for a position on the Board of Directors. Three of the present Board members will be retiring, and although they may decide to stand for re-election, you are urged to consider whether you would be prepared to become involved more directly with the Potters’ Guild. GUILD NEWS The Board of Directors have received the report of Glenn Allison and Jim Thornsbury following their investigation into the feasibility of the Guild mounting a major exhibition of contemporary ceramics. While the authors were not able to recommend to the Guild Board that they pursue such a course in the immedi- ate future, they did make the exciting suggestion that the Board investigate publication possibilities beyond the existing one of Newsletter. The Board is therefore in the process of considering both these issues of exhibition and publication, and a publications com- mittee, consisting of Bob Kingsmill, Nathan Rafla and Kathryn Youngs has been struck. As noted elsewhere in the Newsletter , the Board Is requesting applications for the subsidized rental of the Studio 5 space for 1990. The invitation ts being extended to potential applicants across Canada, and such applications are requested to be made to the Board by November 15, 1989. Mark March 10-11, 1990 on your calendar. Ann Hirondelie has agreed to give a workshop for us. One with Richard Notkin from Oregon for late January, 1990, is also planned, both to be held at Emily Carr School of Art and Design. Watch for further details in upcoming issues. Best news of all this month ts the announcement that a programme for the Guild membership will be held in the space behind the Gallery of B.C. Ceramics on Thursday, October 26th at 7:30 pm!! Don Hutchinson will give a workshop demonstration and show slides, Incelebration, Il suggest any of you who are able bring a small plate of snack food for a short social period after; coffee and tea will be pro- vided.
