Society Excursions 2010-2011

Each Season the Berkhamsted Music Society organises a number of excursions especially for members to venues in London to hear orchestral concerts, or visits to other venues such as Oxford and Milton Keynes. These start from Berkhamsted in comfortable coaches and are usually planned for 4- 7 times a year.
