INFORMAL VISITS
One of our members, Adeline Schlumberg, has offered to coordinate two activities that might interest people.
The first is Modern British & Irish Art auction at Sotheby. Adeline is happy to go along with anyone to look at the exhibition Monday 22 Nov 10:30am, or attend the auction on Tuesday 23 Nov 2pm so meeting at 1:45 pm, in front of Sotheby main entrance: 34-35 New Bond Street London W1A 2AA.
The second, is a visit to the Post building public roof top garden on Wednesday 24 Nov at 2pm.
Meeting in front of Dragon Hall. The 7,500 sq ft rooftop garden of The Post Building is located on the 9th floor, sitting at the junction of London’s five most vibrant and historically rich neighbourhoods. From its vantage point, Bloomsbury will be viewed to the north, Holborn and the City to the west and Canary Wharf and beyond to the south.
Please email me to reserve a space.
NEW ADVICE SESSION
Dragon Hall is working with Age UK Camden to provide support, advice and information to over 55’s, who have (or going through) ‘a life changing event’. ‘A life changing event’ could be retirement, bereavement, health problems, changes in housing and/ or care needs, divorce/ separation or relationship breakdown, changes in financial circumstances, etc. The challenges of life during and after the covid-19 crisis might also represent a significant life event for some of you.
If you would like a 1-1 appointment with Jean‑Luc Dieudonne, Building Resilience Advisor, please email me. Appointments will be available on a Wednesday between 10am and 2pm.
