Eminent George Moore specialist, Robert Becker, has set up an interactive website, devoted to all things Moore related. The website is a very rich source for art links (over 140 pictures and growing), so he has iconography, bibliography, history etc. We much appreciate Bob's specialist knowledge which it will be a valuable resource now and in the future.

The programme for the SOFEIR conference in Lille, 9-10 March is wide-ranging and impressive – but no sign of a Moore text there this year. Perhaps GM will travel there next year. However, a very important event in Lille will honour GMA trustee Dr Eamon Maher who has mentored students, encouraged academics and contributed an incalculable amount to Franco-Irish studies over decades.
Prof Fabienne Gaspari, (Universite de Paul & Pays de l’Adour), valued member of the George Moore Association, gave a paper at a recent conference in Tours. On the theme of Channel Crossings and Writings, the title of Fabienne’s paper was “An Irish man on the road: George Moore’s Travel Experiences”. Good to know that GM is travelling well in France!
