Dear Everyone,

BAC, PEDAS and BAS are partnering to arrange a trip to London on Sunday 22nd June to visit the RA Summer Show and/or any other attraction of choice. The cost of the coach is £25 (includes tip for the driver) and spaces are available on a ‘first come’ basis. Guests are welcome at the same price.

Participants will be able to plan their own day including choosing to visit the RA for the Summer Show in its first week. Tickets should be purchased in advance and are £23 (plus optional donation) although some members may be RA friends or have another concession.
