Trips are removed from this page once they have happened. There are usually one or two trips a month using public transport, announced in the newsletter a month or two before they happen. Trips involving hiring of a coach are planned about six months ahead. We are currently doing a series of visits to Nortthern towns, and some other venues.
Theatre visits are listed on the Theatre Visits group page.

We will also be able to look round the other exhibitions in the gallery. We will meet just inside the entrance to Cartwright Hall at 11.00 am.
