Many thanks especially to Sally and her team from Masqueryde, who kindly donated costumes for people to try on. She would have been delighted to see the Wood family in full flow!!!

April 20, 2010 – The first Members’ Meeting was held upstairs in Liberty’s, Union Street. There were nearly thirty members present, and we recruited two new members on the evening, which was excellent! Diana gave a presentation entitled ‘The Lives and Times of the Royal Victoria Arcade, and we were delighted to have two of the arcade tenants as guests in the audience. The centre which we are planning for the basement of the arcade willl hopefully bring increased trade to all who work there.
