In June a coach trip is being organized for a 'behind the scenes' visit to the Theatre Royal in Brighton.

The committee is approaching a number of other Embassies, High Commissions and other organisations to find more interesting speakers.

The committee hopes that members will support and enjoy these events and it will be pleased if they will put forward their own proposals for future speakers and events.
