PROGRAMME 2010

Discussions are now well under way for our 2010 programme.  But where to go, what to do, what to see.  Do you like trips to include your morning coffee and lunch or do you like the coach to take you, do your own thing and return?

Come and see us at our table on coffee mornings and talk to us.  Tell us about your ideas.  If you can’t always come in to see us then ring MARJ on 526 4665 or IRENE on 53l 6365. In the meantime, below is a small selection of some of the trips we are thinking of running.  What do you think – which are your favourites?

HAREWOOD HOUSE HARROGATE – HAWES THE HOME OF WENSLEYDALE CHEESE SEE IT BEING MADE, BLACK SHEEP BREWERY AND LEYBURN WITH LOTS OF ATTRACTIONS – CADBURY WORLD – VARIOUS NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTIES – CASTLE HOWARD – CHIRK CASTLE/OSWESTRY MARKET – LUDLOW AND BURFORD HOUSE GARDENS – LANCASTER CANAL CRUISE AND LUNE VALLEY VIADUCT – BASHALL BARN AND BROWSHOLME HALL IN THE BEAUTIFUL TROUGH OF BOWLAND – NATIONAL TRUST GONDOLA ON LAKE CONISTON AND BRANTWOOD HOUSE – CONWAY CASTLE AND PLAS MAWR AND THERE’S MORE!!!
