Events in the pipeline
Here is a list of future visits, some of which are 'definites' (a), and some of which are mooted (b).
Please note that some of the latter may not come to fruition.
Some draft flyers are available - indicated by an underlined description.
I hope that this gives a flavour of what is to come, and may encourage members that have never organised a visit,
or have not done so for some time, to have a go.

There is a film show in one of the outbuildings and an operational Link Trainer in another building.
Friendly volunteers to chat as you go around and a well stocked shop and café serving bean-to-cup coffees and tea, Cream teas, naughty cakes and other snacks as well as a range of sandwiches and toasted paninis.
