Arrangements have been agreed to visit the above 2 venues , VICTORIA BATHS , we have visited the baths several years ago when it was in a real state of disrepair , since then there has been a multi million pound refurbishment and it will be interesting to view the vast change.  Included lunch at the baths consisting of freshly baked brown , white or gluten free bread rolls with a choice of 12 fillings , a bag of crisps and tea/coffee. We will then visit GORTON MONASTERY where we will have a guided tour and then members will have time to look around individually
