Outings

One thing that pensioners aren’t renowned for these days is sitting
on their backsides  -  and many like to think that the “Third Age” offers
an opportunity to add to the store of knowledge
with which life has already endowed them .


So, when there’s a chance to pop out for the day to see something
different (often at a reduced entrance fee, and with a small subsidy
thrown in towards lunch) they welcome it with open arms.

Over the years the Club has arranged outings to a wide range of  interesting places - Waddesdon Manor, Holkham Hall,
Hampton Court Flower Show, Kew Gardens, River Trips on the Orwell, the Thames at Marlow & The Trent in Nottingham
with lunch on board, Deene Park - House & Gardens, Biggin Hill Airfield & Churchill's house - Chartwell,
however all these were before the pandemic and the 2020 / 2021 restrictions.
After our release in 2022 we have managed trips to Ingatestone Hall, Grimsthorpe Castle, Boughton House and a river trip on an old Thames Barge out of Maldon - and there will be more to come!


We also try to fit in a couple of Theatre Trips each year
which have included The Classical Spectacular at the Royal Albert Hall
The Commitments in Norwich, 9 to 5 The Musical, Tina The Musical, Irving Berlin's White Christmas and various Christmas Shows.


You can pick up the details of outings from
the Diary Dates page, as they occur.
