Robin Nicholson of Edward Cullinan will speak at the Lecture on Tuesday 24th October.

 

9.      ANY OTHER BUSINESS

An NAA member has brought to the attention of Council an article in a July issue of the EDP referring to a non-architect as an architect.  As a reporter and not the person himself made the reference, ARB cannot do anything about it.  It was agreed that, in future, any such incidents should be dealt with as soon as possible after they have appeared in print.

 

Michael Innes is keen to form a Norwich and Norfolk Forum “to anticipate and influence issues before the dice are cast”.  This will be discussed further at the next meeting.

The next meeting will be held on Monday 9th October at the offices of LSI Architects LLP at 4.30 pm.
