Summer Outings

One-day (and occasionally longer) visits are made to places of interest related to the Society's objectives:

• to promote the study of civic design,
• to stimulate public consciousness and appreciation of the beauty, history and character of Ipswich and its surroundings,
• to encourage the preservation, development and improvement of the features which go to make pleasing and convenient conditions in which to live and work
• to pursue these ends by such means as meetings, lectures, study groups, exhibitions and publications
