Arts and Culture Group
The group is thriving as more members use the e-mail list (which anyone can choose to join) to tell others
about interesting cultural events or to organise group outings. This year we’ve seen lots of films, several
concerts, operas, ballet, concerts, special exhibition visits. We’re always open to new ideas!
