Guild AGM

Each Autumn, the Guild holds its Annual General Meeting, to which all Companions are invited, usually at a site or building that has some connection to Ruskin or to the Guild's current or previous activity, and it is streamed live for international Companions via zoom. It is always a convivial gathering, during which the previous year's activity and accounts can be reviewed and discussed and new Companions are invited to sign the Roll.
