This is a diary of events for 2008

We have had a full and varied program of events lined up for the year, including a four night break at the Redwood Hotel and Country Club - Bristol in May.

Situated in 16 acres of woodland countryside, it was the perfect location to relax, unwind and discover all those treasures in and around the county of Somerset.

Tyntesfield and Lacock Abbey were just two of the locations we visited during our packed five day itinerary.

Also this month, we had a coach outing to Dalemain Hall, Penrith in Cumbria, The smooth Georgian front belies the medieval heritage of Dalemain, home to the same family since 1679. The house is built around an inner courtyard, and the interior rooms are a charming mixture of formal Georgian rococo and panelled Elizabethan.

In August, we had another coach outing, this time to Llangollen and Chirk Castle.
