We are extremely honoured to announce that Mrs Isabel Lowndes Marques has invited us to hold our Annual General Meeting at her home in Belém, to be followed by lunch, on Saturday 28 June 2025.
Before this, we will take a tour of the Lisbon Tropical Botanical Garden in Belém, under the guidance of our member, Gerald Luckhurst, a noted landscape gardener who was, among other things, responsible for starting the work to restore the gardens of the Monserrate estate in Sintra.
Please note the following details:
* A bus will be provided to take members from near the north entrance of Estoril Casino to the Botanical Garden. It will leave at 11.30 and return at 16.00. Please ensure that your phone number is correctly recorded on our system when you make your booking so we can contact you if necessary.
* If you are making your own way to the AGM and don't plan to join us for the garden tour, please be at the entrance of the Botanical Garden at 12.55. The address is Calçada do Galvão 5.
* If you are unavoidably delayed, the address of the house of Isabel Lowndes Marques is Calçada do Galvão, Nº 23. The bus to Estoril will leave from Nº 27.
* The price will be €20 pp. with bus and €10 pp. without the bus. As this is the AGM, it is for members only.
