Staying in touch

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR RECORDS – IF YOU WANT TO CONTACT OUR PRESIDENT, MANDY BEDE, please note that she has a new email address:

amandabede2@gmail.com

This new address was forced on Mandy just before she went overseas in mid April. Unfortunately emails to the old address go into a black hole – there is no alert to the sender or Mandy at her new address. So if you have been in contact you my need to resend to the new address.

Mandy has also lost her old address book with the email change so she can’t email you without a bit of legwork looking for your details.

[fanfare] so we will be corresponding with our new database. This might have a few blips at the start. It might also lead to a call or letter to you to ensure we have your current details. Posts about more interesting events about to start coming to you.

And here’s a bit of travel ephemera from a travelling Australian. The first picks up on the do not disturb signs featured in our travel issue of the Ephemera Journal of Australia (published in April 2024). These could be collected at the Gemaldegalerie Berlin to mark successful fundraising – but I wonder if anyone but an ephemera collector would really find them useful.

The handout and ticket from Berlin institutions seem to indicate that they believe hard copy with some reasons to read are of value. The first was selected from a complicated 19th century machine – you selected a card to direct your experience of the gallery. Tickets were issued even when museums and galleries were free on 1 May.
