The annual Christopher Gilbert lecture for 2019 will be given by Hans Piena on The History of the Dutch Ladder-back Chair. We met Hans at the Netherlands Open Air Museum on our Netherlands tour in 2001. His lecture will take place after dinner on Friday 12th July at Harper Adams University as part of the annual RFS conference in Shropshire.
There are now two lectures planned for the conference with a third possible. Currently there are still a few places available for the full conference, but if you wish to attend supper and the Hans Piena’s lecture only, please contact the events secretary, Jeremy Bate at events.rfs@gmail.com
