Architecture for Fun 28/3/24 Canal Boat Cruise
Due to unanticipated demand , it has been necessary to add one additional canal boat
Therefore there will be two separate trips , one at 12 noon and one at 2.30pm . There is now availability for 48 members to take the trip , 24 at 12 noon and 24 at 2.30pm. The coach for the 12 noon trip will leave Maghull Square at 11.20am and the coach for the 2.30pm trip will leave at 1.50pm (times are approximate)
I have 19 members ( some added off the reserve list) who have yet to pay. Payment is required urgently as I have 2 members on the reserve list.who will be given consideration for a place if payments are not made shortly. I have split the 48 members currently on the list into 4 groups of 12 (24 for 12noon and 24 for 2.30approx.)
Please text me on 07826 048379 if either of the times is unacceptable or if discussion is required.
