Yandles Trip
GAW are organising a day trip to Yandles on Thursday 11th July 2013.
Coach will depart Hucclecote Rugby Club at 9:00 am. At Yandles you will have the opportunity to purchase all your timber and sundries. Also we are hoping for a tour of the wood yard and a demonstration in the afternoon. Lunch can be taken at the Cedar Tree Coffee shop in Yandles or the coach will be going to a nearby pub for those who would prefer a pub lunch (lunch not included in the price). Coach should arrive back at the rugby club at approx. 5:00 pm.
The cost is £15 per person and places can be booked and paid for via John Hawkswell.
