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.
2024 AGM
The Guild's AGM will be held on Saturday 23rd November 2024 at Ruskin Mill College in Gloucestershire. Full details are shared with all subscribing Companions a month in advance.
