Brilliant trip!  Good company,  interesting place, lots of good photos.  And a great opportunity to catch up on sleep.

Thanks to Doug 'n' Rose for organising the trip!

Well what a great day out! Thanks a lot to Doug and Rose for organising the trip. It was great to see the dish up close. It's a lot bigger than I thought it was !

     Rose and I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all the Orpington members who came along and also to the Crayford Astronomical Society and Flamsteed members to help to make the party larger.

     We felt the trip was excellent and an eye opener to see the actual dish, which was HUGE; also the gardens which were quite good, the talk which was interesting and how pleased we were with the coach and the two amusing drivers who did a good job in safely transporting us two and fro from Orpington and Jodrell Bank. Plus the weather was not too bad..... and it didn`t snow!!!

    I will email the Coach company to let them know that we were happy with their transportation .... and the drivers.

    Thank you all again for making the trip enjoyable.

    Cheers, Rose and Doug.
Always look on the bright side of life ...
