The Virtual Entertainments for the Era of COVID-19 will be a regular item to help keep the flow of information and inspiration moving while we don’t get together as much. Please share those films, podcasts, online exhibitions and any other items you think other members would enjoy. If we don’t include your favourite topic? Send us a suggestion and it will be included!
