Birmingham

I was invited to a WRVS meeting in Birmingham on the 7th. It was to do with the major restructuring of the charity. Fairly interesting. Afterwards I met my colleagues who are volunteer's partner like me. It was my birthday so I treated myself to a concert at Symphony Hall : Bruckner's 7th. (See : http://www.thsh.co.uk/event/cbso-nelsons-conducts-bruckner-s-seventh/) The 1st piece was by a living composer. Mr Ruders was on stage at the end to be lapped up by the audience. Very good evening.
I enjoyed too going back to Birmingham. My last visit was in the late 80's and it has changed quite a lot since then !
