ENTIRE EVENING OF BALLET OR MUSIC, MIGHT BE A RELAXED DINNER IN A
COLLEGE OR NEARBY STATELY HOME WITH SOME SHORT CULTURAL ITEMS
EG BY THE ALBION EN SEMBLE WHO VISITED CHINA LAST AUTUMN AND
ACTORS/POETS WHO HAVE VISITED CHINA. ONE PROBLEM WOULD BE COST SINCE GHF CANNOT PAY FOR ANY ENTERTAINMENT NOT HOSTED BY A
MINISTER (AND WE DOUBT WHETHER HOSTING BY A MINISTER IN HIS OWN COLLEGE WOULD GET ROUND THIS). WE ARE UNDER CONSIDERABLE
PRESSURE TO KEEP COSTS DOWN AND ARE THEREFORE CONSIDERING WHETHER
WE MIGHT FIND ANY SPONSORS (EG THE MARQUIS OF TAVISTOCK AT
WOBURN). GRATEFUL FOR ANY IDEAS.
4. AS BACKGROUND MATERIAL FOR THIS VISIT AND THE STATE VISIT
RESEARCH DEPARTMENT ARE UPDATING AND ENLIVENING THE LAYOUT OF
THE BACKGROUND NOTE ON THE PRC. WE HOPE TO USE SOME COLOUR
PHOTOCOPYING AND TO INTRODUCE SECTIONS WITH APPOSITE QUOTATIONS.
WE HOPE TO SEND A DRAFT BY THE END OF THE MONTH GRATEFUL
MEANWHILE FOR ANY IDEAS ON CONTENT AND LAYOUT.
