SEF 9th Anniversary Teddy Bears Picnic - 8th July

[TimM]

I just want to get this one on the board now as we need to have at least twenty people to take part in order to get our group discount entry fee of £6 per person!

We'll be celebrating the 9th Anniversary of the South East Region with another Teddy Bears Picnic. This time we will be heading down to Lullingstone Castle which you may have seen recently on the TV in their own series and also the interiors have featured in the most recent Compare the Meerkat TV ads. As well as being a great house to have a look around there is a famous "World Garden" created by Tom Hart Dyke who is the son of the owner of Lullingstone.

The gathering will start at noon and there will be a treasure hunt as well as the Best Dressed Bear competition. Andy is coming up with the competitive element and will tell us about that later.

I'll put this here so we don't forget that when we turn up at Lullingstone we must go in the back entrance which is sign posted to the Lullingstone Roman Villa and NOT the main entrance to the castle otherwise you'll just end up in the car park.

You may need to check with Lullingstone as it looks as if it might be guide dogs only on their info page? http://www.lullingstonecastle.co.uk/info.html

[TimM]

Good to see the list filling up = we're OK for the 20 minimum now - let's hope its a nice day and that Andy has managed to sort the Treasure Hunt out !
Entry to the house and world garden is £6 per person and that has to be in cash as they don't take credit cards - It does look like Guide Dogs only I'm afraid Jan
