Study Days
In more recent times, the Centre has focused its attention on Study Days, usually held on a Saturday. The Maison Française hosts the Study days, sometimes arranging for a speaker from France to give a paper. Study Days take place about 2-3 times a year. To date just over 40 Study Days have taken place.
