Dear Member
You may be aware that Jackie Radford and Terry Foster have both resigned from the U3A Visits Committee due to other commitments. I am pleased to say that Debbie Wilsher has come forward and has now taken over Jackie's role.
This is just to let you know that the visit to Hampton Court is now open for bookings. We had originally wanted to combine the visit with a river trip from Chertsey but this proved too expensive and time consuming. In any event there is so much to see at Hampton Court that a day is hardly sufficient.
Eating
There is the Tilt Yard Restaurant by the Maze, and visitors are welcome to picnic on any of the benches in the gardens, on the grass in the Tiltyard and Wilderness Gardens, or there are picnic tables in the 20th Century Garden.
More details
The date for the visit is 19 July 2017.
Pick up points and times as follows:
- 8:30am HIADS
- 8:35am United Reform Church, Hollow Lane
- 8:40am Bus stop opposite Tournerbury Lane (Co op)
- 8:45am Bus stop layby opposite New Cut
We anticipate arrival at Hampton Court by around 10am Departure would be 4:30pm with arrival back at Hayling around 5:30 to 6pm depending on traffic.
