CALL Events
The Cambridgeshire Alliance of Lifelong Learners ("CALL") organises its own study days and health walks in addition to the courses provided by its affiliated groups.
Spring morning course
On Saturday 16th March 2024 we will be running a morning Session on Sword, Sceptre and Sainthood
A Journey Through the Royal Collection with Deborah Monteiro on ZOOM.
How does the largest and most outstanding private art collection in the world illustrate the evolution of the monarchy over 500 years into the 20th century? Like any family album, the paintings they collected and commissioned reflect what British rulers have done, what they looked like but also how they wished to be remembered and what they most valued.
