Theatre Trips
This group arranges trips to the theatre which are open to all members. There is a table at each monthly meeting where members can book a place and pay for their ticket. Depending on the venue, they may also arrange coach travel.
If you have ideas about plays or shows you would like to see, or you wish to add your name to an email list to receive notification of forthcoming plans then please send a message to the group coordinator via the pigeon link (top right of this page).
