The Society publishes a Newsletter called the <i>Cherryburn Times</i>, normally twice a year. This provides a forum for the activities of the Society and keeps members informed about the latest research into the life and work of Bewick and his apprentices. Members publish articles about their own special interests where relevant to the Society. The Society also arranges visits to special collections, some of which are not normally open to the general public. It encourages the development of facilities for conservation and display of Bewick related materials, including wood-engraving as practised by those following in Bewick's footsteps. Membership of the Society also gives free admission to the museum at Cherryburn, where Thomas Bewick was born, now in the care of the National Trust.</font> <font size="small"><br> <br> </font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">An application form for those interested in joining the Society is to be found <a href="bewsocapp.pdf" target="mainFrame">HERE</a> (PDF document, 32k) </font><br> <br> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The Constitution of The Bewick Society can be downloaded <a href="constitution.pdf" target="mainFrame">HERE</a> (PDF document, 32k)<br> <br> <strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong><font color="#990000">For reading and printing off-line</font></strong></font><font color="#990000"> (using Acrobat Reader) these documents need to be downloaded to your hard drive.
