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
