BÖU Calendar 2015

Dear BÖU Members and Friends,

Are you looking for a calendar for 2015?

Look no further! The BÖU is selling a stunning 2015 calendar to mark the centenary of the death of Martina Bergman Österberg.

The dimensions of the calendar are 29.5cm x 21cm (11.75in x 8.25in) when folded and 29.5cm x 42cm (11.75in x 16.5in) when hanging.

The theme of the calendar covers the lifetime of Martina Bergman Österberg, from 1849 to 1915.

The photographs are reproduced from the BÖU Archive.

We have included many of Madame Österberg's sayings and significant dates, either in her life or in the world during her lifetime.

The calendar costs £10.00, including postage and packing. When production costs have been covered, income from sales of the calendar will contribute to the BÖU Archive funds.

Please help us mark the 2015 centenary of Madame Österberg's death and at the same time help to support the BÖU Archive, by ordering one or more calendars.

Cheques should be made payable to "Bergman Österberg Union" and sent to our treasurer Christobel Elliott at:
