Friday 5th to Sunday 7th June – There are still a couple of places left on the coach.
The coach leaves Red Lion Square Friday lunchtime and returns on Sunday afternoon. We spend Friday afternoon in Poperinge before going in to Ypres where we will stay for two nights. Saturday morning is free and in the afternoon we take a tour of the local WW1 Battlefields.
If you have misplaced your booking form please contact Kevin or Amanda – the closing date for booking is the 28th February and the payment must be received by HTA by 15th March.
This year will be held during the week from Saturday 18th to Sunday 26th April. We are not arranging a coach but if anyone would like to go please contact Kevin or Amanda and we may find we can get enough people interested for a mini bus or a couple of cars.
We have been given information about a play that will be preformed for one night only
at the theatre on Saturday 21st March about Talbot House –
A Home from Home
The story in words and music of the First World War haven for all soldiers regardless of rank, situated in the small Belgian town of Poperinge.
Tickets are available direct from the Tower Theatre 01303 223925 or

With the towns close links with Toc H, Talbot House and Poperinge it may be an interesting play to go a see.
