Play Reading
The play reading group fills an ache to be in touch with the
dramatic world in our own English spoken word. It meets up
to read a play on the 3rd Monday of the month, and we try to
go to each other's house or apartment, as long as it can
house 12 people.

Excursions
The AAGP organises an excellent programme of excursions to
please all interests. These visits are not planned on a monthly
basis, but pop up when there is something new to discover,
and are not necessarily historical or art focussed; past visits
have included the EDF plant, the boules factory in Marseille
and a behind the scenes trip round the airport.
If you are interested in organizing an excursion, or forming a
small group to plan something on a regular basis, please
contact a Board member - the list of members, with emails, is
in the Members Directory and the Newsletter.
