The Westerman Yarns have been invited to stage an exhibition
as part of the fifth Havant Literary Festival, a celebration of the written and
spoken word. The festival takes place during
the first ten days of October. Please
watch the festival web site for details.
Sponsorship Invitation
As this is our first public exhibition we are keen to ensure
a quality presentation and are seeking sponsorship for the production of
twelve, full colour, exhibition panels. This
could be one sole sponsor or several sponsors contributing a share. All sponsors will be invited to have their
logo at the lower edge of each panel. For further information, please email westermanyarns@gmail.com
At the Westerman Seminar in
February this year we discussed the idea of taking the next seminar to
Percy's beautiful home town of Wareham, for one year, to visit the site of
‘The Barge’ and the Redcliffe Yacht Club, founded by Percy F. Westerman; their
first Commodore.
I am pleased to inform you
that Wareham Town Council have kindly agreed to allow us to hold the next
Westerman Seminar in the Council Chamber on Saturday 15th February,
2014.
Details of the programme are
still being developed and we are still accepting ideas and suggestions, but I
am really pleased to be taking the seminar to the place that Percy called
‘home’ for the last 40 years of his life.
On Friday 14th
February The Friends of the Westerman Yarns will be presenting a Westerman
exhibition/display in the Corn Exchange, Wareham (times tbc).
The Westerman Seminar will
return to Portsmouth Grammar School in 2015.
