Couldn’t find what you’re looking for? Start a new club!

In the past Anglica has had even more active clubs and we do encourage our members to step forward with new ideas for new clubs. We’ve had a food club, a beer club, and an impro group, for example. These have been quiet for a few years now but it doesn’t have to be so! If you have enthusiasm for revitalising one of the old clubs or coming up with something completely new, the board of Anglica can surely help with some practicalities!
