CPR AGM March 2020

Our 2020 Annual Meeting will take place on Saturday 14 March in the beautiful Edwardian hall of Westminster Cathedral (entrance from Ambrosden Avenue, London SW1P 1QH)

Our aim is to inspire pilgrims past, present and future by exploring current trends in pilgrimage, and looking in detail at practical aspects, as well as informing them on the current activities of the Confraternity. There will be a Question and Answer panel, and plenty opportunities for meeting and exchanging with others.

As ever, entrance to the event is free, and details of registration will follow. If you would like to attend please email events@pilgrimstorome.org.uk

Just a bump to get this to the top of the threads. You can register for the free event on Eventbrite - link from the Confraternity website.

 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
An update. I have just heard from one of the Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome organising committee that the event on 14 March has been cancelled as part of the growing concern about coronavirus. A bit of a relief in some ways but the news arrived just a couple of hours after buying my ticket to London
