During the year, it is likely that a number of impromptu activities will also be arranged. For practical reasons, these activities may only be announced on this website and via email.
As well as the events that the BCA's committee organises, special interest groups also meet regularly.
Bookworms will set up a second reading group during 2010 and so please contact bookworms if you'd like to join this.
A poetry circle was established in 2009, and more people are welcome to come along.
Other events are Parrots monthly wine tastings as well as Vendela's Veterans and Krakow weekly chats over coffee.
