It may be almost the end of 2006, but we are pleased to announce that the December edition of the GBUK newsletter is now available for GBUK members to download from the newsletter section.
It’s taken all over Christmas to get it sorted - (it’s so big) - like three issues in one. Please give it time to download if you are on dial up.
A huge thank you to Allan Punton for all his work on this newsletter and to all of you who have contributed.
Happy reading…

With only a few days to go now until the GBUK Bead Fair I thought I should inform you of some important travel information for those planning on visiting us.
There are currently roadworks in Stourbridge town centre, which means that access is restricted from the ring road around Stourbridge.
Please follow IFG (International Festival of Glass) diversion signs to the A491, then turn right and proceed south back towards the town center, turning right into canal street for the bead fair.
See you there…

The GBUK bead fair is now less than one month away (26-27th August 2006), so please make a note in your diaries if you haven’t done so already.
The bead fair this year is coinciding with the International Glass Bienial in Stourbridge. So there will be plenty to see…
