Keswick 2019
In July 2017, a coach was arranged for travel to week one of the Keswick convention. It proved to be a great success, with many expressions of interest in doing the same for future conventions. Our intention is to establish levels of interest in attending the first week of the 2019 convention ie 13th-20th July. This will allow us to ascertain whether hiring a coach would be a viable option and the expected fare per head. Departure would be on the first ferry on Saturday 13th, with arrival in Keswick about 7pm. Individuals are responsible for booking
their own ferry tickets, and for arranging accommodation in Keswick. At this stage, you are only being asked to register your interest - there is no commitment. If there is sufficient interest, you will be informed of the cost and deposit requirement. If you are interested in finding out more, please add your details to the sheet provided at the door. If you require any further information, please feel free to contact David Morrison (High Free) on 07753 957336.
