We have decided to alter the month and year of our exhibition to May 2016 in Amsterdam in good hopes May would prove to be warmer and inviting rather than grey December [2015] which could be very unpleasant ,cold and icy in Amsterdam. Several of our guests have inquired if we could not have the exhibition during the warmer months. We feel the visiting guest who come in May would have the bene
fit of warmer days , even making excursions to the other districts of the Netherlands or even travel to central Europe which would be far more comfortable after lent . Our Feature Exhibition Logo has two features which were change ,thanks to graphic designer Maria Moser in Vienna who is always helpful and providing us with gratis graphic help . Firstly the year has been changed to 2016 ,
Secondly the addition of Asia to the VOC heritage thus omitting of Sri Lanka . This was due to our conclusion that the Burghers of Ceylon had a diversity of connections linked to Asia and not only confined to Sri Lanka . There will be a book launching based on the research made for the heritage Exhibition ,which will be held at the premier of the exhibition .The Exhibition premier is planned for the last week of May in 2016 Amsterdam- inner city . Further plans of events to promote the Burgher heritage with visiting exhibition in :
• 2017 February to Colombo Sri Lanka ,
• In 2018 February the Exhibition will be brought to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia
• In 2019 February The ANRI has invited us to hold an exhibition at the de Klerk house in Jakarta Indonesia .
• 2019 or 2020 February , the Exhibition travels for the last destination to Melbourne city , Australia The Burgher Association would be pleased if it did finally come to Melbourne.
