Access to Bridge Street premises and Office team

As many of you already know, our Bridge Street building is currently undergoing major construction work and is CLOSED TO ALL MEMBERS AND VISITORS over the Summer. You can continue to contact staff in the usual way, either by email or telephone – we are still available to help even though we are not in the premises!

We’ll announce in the Bulletin when Bridge Street is to re-open.

Course allocation

Allocation letters, membership cards and the August Newsletter will be sent to members by post at the end of the month. The Newsletter will include details of newly arranged courses, the Wednesday Lectures, Norah Boyce Science Lectures and the Film Group screenings for the Autumn term. In the meantime, once you have submitted your course choices they will show in your online account as ‘pending allocation’.
