London Spring Visit 2015: Queen Elizabeth II Olympic Park
Our London Spring Visit took place on Tue 21st April, and was attended by 15 members from Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Cardiff, Liverpool, London and Manchester. You can read all about this very informative and enjoyable event in Daphne Chalk-Birdsall’s blog and there might be more write up in the next newsletter, meanwhile, below are some pictures of the day:
