Warwickshire House & Gardens tour

Kenilworth Castle & Elizabethan Gardens.
The name of this event is now changed. After the disappointment of the previously planned venues, I can now announce that the new venue will be Kenilworth Castle and Elizabethan gardens. I have now received the official booking confirmation. Kenilworth Castle is English Heritage not National Trust, so for most of us there will be an admittance charge. The good news is that as a group we do qualify for a 15% discount on the admittance fee. I would ask that we all assemble in the car park when we arrive so that we can all enter together in order to qualify for the discount. I will give out further details at the meetings on 27th April and on 8th May.
I hope that the alteration to the venue is agreeable to everyone. I apologise for the alteration but this was outside of my control Please let me know if there is a problem. The arrangements for the restaurant are unchanged.
Can anyone who as not already done so please let me have your choice of meals from below:
Beef Strip loin
Pork Belly
Corn fed Chicken Supreme
Mediterranean Veg Wellington.

There has been a slight problem with the two National Trust properties that we were planning to visit. I was told that all would be okay, but yesterday I received a email saying that they do not accept groups of over 15 people at weekends between 31st March and 31st August. This has upset the arrangements somewhat. I am currently trying to arrange a visit to another venue in the area. I will post details once they are finalised. Either way the run will take place even with arrangements being altered.
Any questions, please contact me.
