Branch Events are in blue. These are events where there should be a good representation from the Branch, there may be dedicated Branch parking and there may be an organised convoy into the event. We aim for there to be at least one Branch Event every month of the year.

July
Sun 26 July: Drive around Wiltshire Open Studios. This is a bit different! Open studios is an opportunity for the public to visit the hidden world of local artists in their studios or workshops. It is free of charge. The artists' work ranges from curios, jewellery, glass or ceramics to large sculptures, bronzes and epic landscapes. You can meet the artist and discover their inspiration. It can be an exhilarating to step into someone's garden or house to look into the world of an artist.
Peter Williams has offered to arrange this Drive, starting at Chiseldon to visit studios in the Baydon, Ramsbury area, including ceramics, painting and sculpture, then ending in Aldbourne with the option of lunch. There will be more details when we have an idea of how many would like to go.
If you are at all interested in this event could you please let Pam know so that we can assess numbers and plan the visits accordingly (this is not a commitment!).

Sat 29 August: Shrivenham Fete. A fun event with Classic cars, shopping, refreshments, entertainment and much more.
