Moseley Festival ideas – what do you think?
We’ve come up with a list of a few ideas for Moseley Festival 2010. The idea is to support any group or individual to put something on during the event, so please add your own!
Also, do bear in mind that these are ideas, rather than specific requests to particular groups, or definite events.
Please add your thoughts, below, or at our next meeting on:
Wednesday 16 December

8pm.
