On September 18, Maurine Cooper will present a slide lecture on Winslow Homer and October 2 will see Brian Webb and Michael Jones return with more dramatic readings and music.

Desmond Fountain, Catherine Draycott and Carole Holding are just some of the 40 artist who have been introduced to the public at the Wednesday lunchtime chats.
