One last mention of 2023 activities was the trip to Winchester Christmas Market. A full coach travelled down to this festive market and was enjoyed by our members.

So now we move into 2024 we start to think about Spring and the warm days of Summer and with the arrival of Spring the various trips we are organising begin:

  • Thursday 21st March will be the day for members to enjoy award winning fish and chips at our first Members’ Lunch of the year. The venue will be McDermotts Restaurant at Forestdale, and the price of £19 includes two courses and tea or coffee. FULL.
  • Wednesday 17th April there will be the coach trip to the Beth Chatto Garden. This has proved very popular and is already fully booked and we have a waiting list in place. FULL
  • May will see a trip to National Trust properties where NT members can use their cards to save admission fees. We are planning to visit a couple of properties and at present we are finalising the plans with the booking form being published in the March Bulletin.
  • Thursday June 20th there will be a day trip to the coast to visit Whitstable Harbour and Castle. There will be plenty of time to explore the quaint shops and perhaps sample a Whitstable oyster or two. And towards the end of the visit you will all enjoy a delicious afternoon tea together. FULL.

So that is the programme for the first half of 2024. The trips and outings for the rest of the year are in the final stages of planning and will be published in the March Bulletin. You can find out more details of the above trips, or what is being planned for later this year, by visiting the Travel Team table at the General Meetings.

We hope to see you on one of our trips in 2024.
