Re The Henry Moore visit Wednesday 10th  October 2018

If you wish to have a lunch in the cafe on the above visit they need to have your choice/s by the 1st October ( you can take a picnic lunch if you prefer) The menu is attached. Please note if you would like soup only one of the choices can be made available can I suggest Tomato and Lentil They also require me to pay for them all on the day. Therefore I propose to collect the monies whilst on the way there so exact money, please!
As we are a smaller and select group of 16 folk and Kings cannot supply a smaller and less expensive coach we have ordered a minibus to make the visit viable  We believed it was best we met our commitments and hope you agree.
We look forward to this visit and seeing you all there Click here for the menu and order form
