Have you memories of life during the Second World War? Or maybe stories told you by your parents or grandparents? If so, we would love to hear from you. Our summer festival this year is celebrating the part played by Garden City residents in helping the Allies to victory. There will be two days of music, food and fun and a host of other activities, including a book of reminiscences put together by children from the town’s primary schools. Your stories will be invaluable. To learn more, click here.
 
INVITATION: We want your views and ideas about our activities generally.  Our annual meeting is on Wednesday March 17 at 7.30 and is our opportunity to report to you on the last 12 months and plans for the future, and, most importantly, for you to let us know what you think and what you would like to see happening. Tell us what you think we have done right and anything we have done wrong. Ask difficult questions. And let us know what you feel we should be doing next.
 
If you like to be more closely involved – as a volunteer or as a trustee – this is a good time to come forward. We are heavily dependent on volunteers and can promise a warm welcome to anyone who wants to be part of that effort. The meeting is at the Arts Centre. We hope to see lots of you there. 
 
We have many new activities this year. You can download our latest brochure here or explore the website for details of courses, stage presentations, exhibitions, talks etc. Get discounts  by becoming an Arts Centre member. Family membership is a bargain £10 a year. Download a membership form here.
 
Have fun and help us raise funds by taking part in this year's sponsored walk in June, organised by the FSI. All involved in 2009 said they had a terrific time. Check out the details here.
