The Bourne Show was a great success, with many long-term residents agreeing they had never seen it better attended. The Association stall was kept busy all afternoon and several new members took the opportunity to join us.

Autumn Meeting - Wednesday 22nd October, 8pm at The Bourne Hall - The speaker will be the retired Architect Alfred Rowe RIBA FRSA, who will give a well illustrated talk entitled "Sir Edwin Lutyens, The Man and his Architecture"

 

The range of Lutyens oeuvres is wide, from the Liberal Club in Farnham to numerous houses in Surrey, Hampshire and other home counties; for example the delightful Munstead Wood near Godalming for the famous garden designer Gertrude Jekyll, to the Cenotaph at Whitehall and the 1924 Thiepival Memorial Arch fot the70 odd thousand missing in the battle of the Somme and to the Massive Viceroy's House at New Delhi constructed in the early 1900's.
