This month we are taking a look at the cloisters funded by the Friends in the 1930s from a grant that was roughly equivalent to £47,000 in today’s money.  This is to be followed by a visit to the SCR Acacias for a glass of prosecco and the opportunity to see the exhibition: A lifetime of art: Retrospective and sale of the work of Elizabeth Heydeman.

Elizabeth Heydeman read English at Reading, then taught locally and has been active in many University-related organisations such as the Women’s Club and Whiteknights Studio Trail. She was President of the Reading Guild of Artists. Her husband Tom was in Microbiology on London Road and then in its new building on Whiteknights.

There is no charge but Elizabeth’s art works will be for sale in aid of the University Student Support Fund and donations are also welcome.
