Save the date: LALG has booked a stall at Letchworth Festival on 21 June. Would you have time to come along for an hour or so to chat with prospective LALG members? Our stall will have games as well as plenty of info about LALG. Our gazebo will provide shelter from the sun and rain - we often get both! We also plan to use an empty shop for a longer period to run all sorts of activities to publicise LALG. Could you help with that? Please email Amy: publicityofficer@lalg.org.uk
