- Is there such a thing as an inner city community ?
- Do you think you live in a commumity?
- What does Community mean in the 21st Century?
The Church of the Annunciation on Bryanston Street, Marble Arch, is hosting a series of talk dinners to discuss these questions and other ideas around the meaning of community.
Following on from a previous event with the local MP Mark Field, these events, held within the beautiful church itself, will be relaxed and interesting and a great opportunity to meet other people within the community. We will hear a range of expert opinions and enjoy debating the issues that are important to us.
The first six events will run from February 8th 2012 to July 4th 2012. Tickets cost £25, but book six at once and get one event free.
