Aviation Heritage Museum, Maritime Museum and English Heritage Museum, Southampton A few additional places are still available for this visit - if interested, please contact the organiser as soon as possible. For those who have already booked, please remember to bring your Bus Pass for the journey onwards from the City Link Shuttle to the Aviation Museum. It is also planned to visit the Maritime Museum but the inclusion of the English Heritage Museum does not fit in with the itinerary. Travel arrangements are to catch the 10:05 hours from Waterloo (10:12 hours at Clapham Junction) or alternatively meet at Southampton Central Station at 11:22 hours. The cost (exclusive of the £1 admission to the Maritime Museum) is £4.50 per person. Full details and booking arrangements appear in the Autumn issue of Outboard (No. 94) |

Bank of England, London An additional outing has been arranged to the Bank of England. Meet at Bank Underground station at 10:00 hours. In the morning we shall see a film on the history of the Bank and then enjoy a choral concert. Light refreshments will be provided after the concert. It is regretted that this visit is now fully subscribed. |
