Our Events Director, Lee Rayner, edits our informative and entertaining (we hope!) Broadsheet.

As we wrote last year in our newsletter, what Shakespeare described as the ‘slings and arrows of outrageous fortune’ managed to put a substantial ‘spanner’ into all our lives in the shape of the pandemic Coronavirus and Government restrictions put the BArts’ programme on the ’back-burner’ for a seemingly indefinite period.

The Spotlight remained closed until March 2022 but has now re-opened. Our affiliated groups suspended their activities and events, and we are awaiting news from them about their resumption. Many of the planned events will be re-programmed when venues re-open.

Meanwhile many groups held events online. BArts has piloted and continued an online version of our 'Let's Do Lunch' series, called 'BArts Buffet'. Happily we are now able to return the Spotlight.

Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you at one of our events in person now they have resumed live.
