Stoke-on-trent Tour

28th, 2009
Coach departs – 0715
Coach returns – 1915

 |
Please find below the coach approved itinerary for tomorrow (28-Feb) trip to
Stoke-on-Trent.
If you have not paid, please, make sure you have your cheque (made out to NAWC)
or cash ready to hand in as your board the bus for departure tomorrow morning.
Two recommendations:
· Bring sturdy boxes or containers to transport any of your new
found treasures more safely
· Bring along snacks to share.
The trip up to Stoke (& the return as well) is expected to take 3 hours. No
break has been planned, so be wary of how much coffee or tea you drink before we
depart.
Quote from one of our members:
“Even if you don't need anything, this is such a FUN trip. Aside from shopping,
what more could anyone want than a day of eating and talking and having someone
else be totally responsible for the driving? All for £15! A bargain!”
