OUTINGS
A brief resume of last year's (2023) outings
A visit to see the Light Show at Kew Gardens on 4th January 2023
This was thoroughly enjoyed by 40 of us (25 members and 15 guests).
In July, we had a trip to Northampton, followed by an afternoon at Althorp House. Unfortunately, the weather was not the best so our time in the gardens was limited but the house alone was well worth the visit.
A day trip to Windsor on 18th September 2023 incorporated
a visit to the castle and a boat trip on the Thames.
And lastly, there was a visit to St Albans Arena on Tuesday 19th December
to see Peter Pan starring Chris Gascoyne of Coronation Street fame.
Plans for outings this year (2024)
Monday 10th June - Kew Gardens
The coach will pickup at Hemel Park and Ride at 10.00am and at Hatfield
Galleria at 10.30am. We should be back by around 5.30-6.00pm depending on the traffic conditions.
We'll have the day at leisure in Kew Gardens where we can visit the
various greenhouses and see many exotic plants as well as the amazing
display of seasonal plants and flowers in the borders and beds. There is
also an impressive number of different species of trees from all over
the world, not forgetting the water gardens etc.
For refreshments there is a large cafe and restaurant but if the weather
is kind you might prefer to take a picnic to enjoy in the gardens.
If you require a wheelchair or motorised scooter/buggy, these are
available but need to be prebooked. Go to the Kew Gardens website and
you will find all of the information needed.
The cost for this trip which includes the coach and entrance fee
will be £30.00 for REASH members and £40.00 for guests.
If you would like to join us please pay the appropriate amount into the
REASH account by MONDAY 1st APRIL at the very latest as the coach
company can only hold the coach until 2nd April.
Please email Pauline (outings@reash.uk) to advise you have paid.
