All EVENTS are here:
In recognition of the huge contribution to the Settlement and Settlement Players, in the theatre, and elsewhere, made by John Baskerville, the room adjacent to the Kincaid Hall was named the Baskerville Room in a special event that took place on Wednesday 23rd October. The ceremony was attended by Pat Baskerville and relatives.
I hope you have a fulfilling second half of term at the Settlement – whether you are attending an event, continuing your studies, or starting something new!
Best wishes,
-Nick
