BARRY'S EXETER FRIENDS
The majority of our members are from the local area (Exeter is in the South West of England), with a few others located around the UK. With effect from 1 January 2006, we changed from a formal club to an informal network which keeps in touch mainly by email – we email to those on our mailing list any significant news about Barry, e.g., CD or DVD releases, TV/radio appearances in the UK and any forthcoming concerts in the UK. We also arrange activities from time to time such as meals and theatre visits.
We have made regular donations to local charities in recent years, choosing a different one each time so that we can bring benefit to our local community in Barry's name. Those which have received donations from Barry’s Exeter Friends in recent years include:
