ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Notice is hereby given of the Annual General Mecting
of the Potters’ Guild of British Columbia, to be held on
Thursday, January 25, 1990, at the Granville Island
Information Centre Theatre, starting 7:30 pm.

At that time, information about planned programmes
for the coming year will be made available, and an
election of new board members carried out. The
following people are remaining on the Board: Theota
Dancer, Tam Irving, Bob Kingsmill, June MacDonald,
D'Arcy Margesson, Nathan Rafla, Elsa Schamis, and
Kathyrn Youngs. The following, Sam Kwan, Cherie
Markiewicz, Terry Ryals and Ron Tribe are stepping
down as members of the Board.

The Nominating Committee of Elsa Schamis and
Theota Dancer have conducted a search for members
willing to be on the Board of Directors of the Guild, but
at time of printing, no volunteers have “volunteered”
themselves. Four are needed, to make a necessary
total of twelve members. Elsa and Theota urge you to
fet in touch with them (526-1221, or 929-5543), and/
or come to the AGM inJanuary. Potters are very busy
people, but without volunteers on the Board of Direc-
tors, the Guild cannot function.

FROM THE LIBRAIRIAN'S DESK

Some new publications ordered and due to arrive any
time are: “American Craft". an excellent periodical
requested by several people; and “Masters of the the
Crafts", catalogue to the National Museums’ show of
the Bronfman award recipients, 1977-1986. We also
have added some slides to the lending collection,
including a few of porcelain and glass from the
Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Picasso ce-
ramics from the Picasso museum in Barcelona, and of
Medalta pottery from the Glenbow Museum in Cal-
gary. Photograph collections are in the process of
being brought up to date and labelled.

I hope that the brary will becorne its normal vital self
after regular meetings resume. In the meantime,
since my book-lending duties on Fridays leave me
with as much free time as the Maytag repairman, !
have compiled a list of missing periodicals, and hope
that they may surface in some of your organizational
bouts! They are,

Ceramic Review: March/April, 1989, and Nos. 116, 110,
104, 64, 63, 59, 55, 48, 43,.......
Contact: Nos. 74 and 67.
Fusion: Vol.13, No.l and No.4; Vol. 0, No.2(special
edition, 4th Int'l Ceramic Symposium), and Vol.10,
No.4.

: February, June, July, August and
September(!!), 1988;
New Zealand Potter, Vol.31, Nos. | and 2, 1989,

While some of these have been missing for quite some
time, we encourage you to double-check And a
further reminder to those people with overdue books
to put them back tn circulation for the New Year. We
have almost 300 excellent books in the library, and we
hope they will be well enough used to keep ordering
new publications, and keep abreast of the exciting
new work being done all over the world.
Happy Christmas and New Year!
