LYTCHETT-LINE OUTINGS CLUB – HAMPTON Jonathan Haigh
COURT FLOWER SHOW – SAT 7 JULY Hazel Cottage, 25 Briantspuddle.

01929 471768
We’ve almost reached the number we need (50) to earn the discounted entry
price (which I assumed we would when pricing this trip!) for the wonderful RHS
flower show at Hampton Court Palace on Saturday 7 July. Their tickets aren’t
cheap, but we get £5 each off for our group booking.
When we went last time it proved very popular as it has much more to offer than
the Chelsea Flower Show, (many of whose show gardens are transferred to
Hampton Court) over a much bigger area (and so not crowded), and at a much
lower price, so do book now if possible.
The total price, including the coach and entrance, is £50 each. We’ll leave
Lytchett Matravers at 08.30 and the Flower Show at 16.30, to be back home at
c.19.00.

Come and join us and have some fun with our friendly club!
New club members are very welcome, and membership is free – just ring (after
10.00 please!)
