Kimmel-Lampart FRPSL. Kurt’s display has achieved a Large Gold Medal at International level, so
is one not to be missed. Subject to Covid-19 restrictions, this will be displayed in the main meeting

Displays will be changed approximately every two months (subject to availability). Any Fellows
or Members who would like to offer a display of 128 sheets (photocopies only), should please contact
