Welcome

Our latest news
Oriflamme Benefit Classical Concert - The concert held on 16th January was a great success, with over 160 in the audience, presence by several mayors of the area, and the Warwick and Leamington MP James Plaskitt. Mr Plaskitt has raised an Early Day Motion #624 to thank Amnesty and support Hoda Aminian, an Iranian women's rights defencer. We are now seeking to get as many MPs to sign the EDM as possible. Many thanks to Antoine Mitchell who organised and conducted the orchestra, and the concert planning committee.
