A NEW WEB SITE FOR THE COMMUNITY
The WBCA's been hard at work creating a new web site that will make it easier to find out what's going on at the Barns at all times. We're still working on it but for those interested in a sneak peak you can visit www.atthebarns.org and share your comments/feedback. As always, the best way to stay informed is to Like us on Facebook and to follow the Wychwood Barns on Twitter. The WBCA is grateful to Suzanne Long, a dedicated community member whose passion for the Artscape Wychwood Barns is shared by the almost 5000 Twitter followers at @wychwoodbarns.
