Speaker: Sarah Somerville
Sarah is the Visitor Services Officer at Shaw House, a Grade I listed Elizabethan manor house situated on the northern edge of Newbury and managed by West Berkshire Council as a visitor attraction and conference centre. As well as guiding tours of the house, Sarah manages events held at Shaw House and the gift shop there. Her talk highlights the varied skills needed to work in a historic house seeking to pay its way while being part of the local community in the 21st century.

Non-members welcome – a donation of £2.50 towards the meeting costs would be appreciated.

The talk will follow the AGM. Please arrive at 7.30 pm to allow a seamless transition from the AGM to the talk.
