We currently have 32 people registering interest in this visit with 35 spaces on the coach, with all but 2 deposits paid (£10 each).

I now need the remainder (£25) / full amount (£35) to be paid either at the February or March members meetings. Please can you bring cash or cheque to one of those meetings and pass to me during one of the breaks.

Thanks

Hi there

It may not be of interest to anyone...but...about a 12 minute drive up the road from the National Space Centre is The University of Leicester car park... the place where they found Richard III remains.

Is anyone else interested in a detour seeing as we are already there? We may already pass it on the way there or back so the coach driver could just make an extra stop...

[Carole]

If it's possible to fit it in I'd be interested.

Me too, I believe Richard the third is a much maligned monarch for various reasons and I would be interested in visiting the site.

[ApophisAstros]

has it not been returned to a car park or is there something there to see?

Take a look at the map; it's a mile or so further into the centre of Leicester from the Space Centre...
