Annual General Meeting + GFGRG Meal
The Gender and Feminist Geographies Research Group of the RGS-IBG has its AGM on Thursday 3rd September 16:50-18:30 (Peter Chalk Room 2.5). After the AGM Research Group Chair, Nichola Wood, has organised a meal at Harry’s Restaurant (86 Longbrook Street, EX4 6AP) http://harrysrestaurants.co.uk/restaurant-exeter/ to start at 7:30pm. As we’re potentially quite a big booking the restaurant has asked if we can let them know people’s food orders in advance of our arrival.
If you would like to attend the GFGRG meal can you please email me (n.x.wood@leeds.ac.uk) your food choices by 5pm, Thursday 27th August. The menu can be found at: http://harrysrestaurants.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Harrys-Full-Menu-July-2015.pdf.
Our meals are informal affairs – some people will be having one course, some will have three so feel free to order what you like. Nicola will start to work out people’s bills before the meal so you’ll only pay for what you eat and drink.
