Outing News
(Please note that outings are open to U3A members only.)
Monthly Outings
The first outing of 2019 was on the 20th February to see the musical "Ghost" at the Theatre Royal Brighton. In amazingly warm weather for February, members had free time to visit the excellent Brighton Museum or wander around the Pavilion Gardens or The Lanes or even take a stroll along the seafront. Ghost, the Musical, is an adaptation from the famous 1990 film starring Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg. With excellent cast, good voices, moving performances and stylish choreography, there was much to enjoy.
An outing to Windsor Castle took place on the 20th March, visiting Windsor Castle, St George's Chapel and the Royal Windsor Farm and Coffee Shop.
On 10th April, a full coach of U3A members travelled to the very interesting Bletchley Park, which is famous for code breaking in World War 2.
On 7th May, there will be an outing to Standen and Saint Hill Manor. This outing is now fully booked with a waiting list.
The June outing, on Tuesday 11th, will be to the National Trust property, Polesden Lacey, nearing Dorking. The application form is in the April Newsletter.
Short Breaks
Back in October, thirty-three U3A members set off by coach for a One Night Stopover to Oxford. The group packed a lot into two days visiting beautiful Cliveden, magnificent Blenheim Palace, Bladon to see Winston Churchill's grave, Oxford (including a tour with Blue Badge Guides) and Hughenden Manor. Thank you to Sandra McDonald for all the hard work entailed in organising an overnight stay. There will be another short break from 3rd to 6th October 2019 visiting Bath and Bristol. Details and booking form were in the January and February newsletters. At time of writing, there was one double/twin room available.
These are some photos from the above outing to Cliveden, Oxford and Hughenden
