This year we'll be looking to attend more local events.
Please contact a coordinator if interested, as we have now set up a car-share system to help members who don't drive or dislike using the bus at night.
See our list of FORTHCOMING EVENTS, below.
As always, we welcome suggestions for further visits.
If you have a particular interest (eg. musicals, or ballet) and would be interested in coordinating visits to such events, please get in touch!
Visit this website page regularly for updated information on events. We hope to attend one event each month. Please contact a coordinator if you'd like to be placed on our Beacon mailing list.
