Current trips

A quick reminder for our forthcoming events and deadlines:

Twice a month, on Tuesday alternating with Conversation Club, you’ll have the opportunity to watch a movie in English with English subtitles and make new friends while improving your English. Meet us in the Social Space at 5.

There is a weekend of local walks led by local people, taking place simultaneously around the world, celebrating the ideas and legacy of urbanist Jane Jacobs (1916-2006). This annual international event first launched in 2007, following Jane Jacobs’s death in 2006 aged 89. By 2010 it involved 424 neighbourhoods in 68 cities in 9 countries. This year it reaches China and the Philippines for the first time also, just as it arrives here…
An event not to be missed! For more info and to find out times and meeting points have a look at this link: http://www.walkcolchester.org.uk/about-walk-colchester/news?actv_news_news_id=25
