Although initially they wanted to master such topics as parliamentary law, improve their social skills and their knowledge of literature, the club soon became a forum where Cantabridgeans could meet over dinner to discuss current events and listen to a deb …

European Folk music and Cultural History with Natasha Dukach.

All are welcome. Please be interested in working together toward a larger, common goal, and not simply looking to "network!" There are many other de …
