We are a friendly group of over eighty members,

and visits to places of interest.
In March we visited The Parkinson to see
"The Treasures of the Brotherton"
and
The Michael Marks Building
on the Western Campus of Leeds University.

Meanwhile, here is an image taken from...
And She Built A Crooked House
by Gemma Anderson-Tempini.
It can be seen at 17 Burton Crescent, Far Headingley, Leeds, as part of the year of culture.
A very thought-provoking but also fun and engaging installation in a house with a lot of history. It is particularly appropriate for a half term visit with Halloween in mind.
For more information go online for Leeds Arts Attractions, where you can book tickets.
It's free !
