C20 AGM

The 2011 C20 AGM will be held in the Marx Memorial Library in Clerkenwell on Wednesday 22nd June at 6.30pm.

Each year the Society aims to hold its AGM in a venue with particular C20 interest. Despite dating back to 1737, when it was built as the Welsh Charity School, this year’s building was rebuilt in 1968-9, and has housed the Marx Memorial Library since 1933. The meeting will give an opportunity to see the Grade II mural by Viscount Hastings: ‘The Worker of the Future upsetting the Economic Chaos of the Present’ – rather apposite in the current economic climate.

The Library is at 37a Clerkenwell Green, London EC1R 0DU (5 mins from Farringdon Station, and the meeting will start at 6.30pm, with drinks afterwards. The full agenda follows:
