The formal business of the meeting will be followed by a talk from architect Duncan Baker Brown, senior partner at BBM Sustainable Design and Senior Lecturer in the University of Brighton’s School of Architecture who will share with us his passion for innovative architecture that’s kind to the environment and discuss the potential for a new vernacular architecture in Sussex.

The meeting and Duncan’s talk will take place in the morning and will be followed by a delicious buffet lunch served at £14.00 per head.

Following lunch:

Chris Nunn from Ashplats Woods Conservation Group will talk briefly about the interesting history of East Court Estate and the conservation work in Ashplats Woods followed by a two mile guided walk through Ashplats ancient woodland. The wood is hilly and, depending on the weather, the ground underfoot could be muddy; so sturdy footwear is essential.

Alternatively, members may prefer to join the East Court gardener, Jenny Watson, in a short tour of the gardens followed by a gentle walk along the Centenary Nature Trail, led by Lorna Train.

Or, members are welcome to simply relax and enjoy at their leisure the magnificent parkland grounds, Memorial Gardens and the stunning views from the Meridian Hall Terrace.
