This Friday there’s a change to the published programme. Unfortunately Norman is unable to present his talk “My Route to Distinctions.” However Jon Baker is showing the Midland Salon 2017 AV that he put together. Jon produced excellent AV’s for the Wrekin Salon and I’m sure that his new selection will not disappoint.
