Revisiting projects and events from the last 20 years of APG Works
Welcome to our blog. We have started a project to set out a history of APG through blog posts from previous versions of our website, with the addition of older material that was not previously published and more recent events and activities that have occurred since we last posted - about 5 years ago. We hope you enjoy reading. We’d love to hear from you if you participated in events and programmes here that are not covered…
