B4 Advisory Board Meets for the First Time

With some exciting plans and ideas discussed, we are looking forward to sharing our future plans in due course but, for now, thank you to everyone who supported this inaugural Board Meeting.
Thank you also to Wendy Ball and her team at the Ashmolean for hosting us.
