The Porthole Murder - a talk by Dr. Paul Stickler
Cost: £3.00

Join us in exploring Ely and Cambridge, 17th - 20th March 2027

We are hoping to organise a 4 day/3 night short break to Ely and Cambridge from Wednesday, 17th March 2027 to Saturday, 20th March 2027.

The trip will include travel by coach to and from Littlehampton/Rustington, a trip to Ely (including a tour of the Cathedral), a trip to Cambridge city and 3 nights accommodation at the Cambridge Belfry Hotel and Spa on a half-board basis (dinner, bed and breakfast).

The hotel is situated seven miles from the centre of Cambridge in the peaceful setting of Cambourne. It has an indoor swimming pool, gym, tennis court, steam room and sauna and is set in lovely grounds within the countryside. It is not within easy walking distance to a town, so it is very much somewhere to relax and enjoy some quiet time.

The two trips included in the price of this short break are to Ely on one day and Cambridge on another. Both are places to enjoy some beautiful architecture, shops, restaurants and history. The trip to Ely will include entrance to the cathedral. 

Coffee Mornings & Tea Afternoons

The perfect meeting place

Come and meet other members at our Coffee Mornings and Tea Afternoons.

There's a friendly atmosphere, cake is included, and we usually have a table quiz or short presentation.

Coffee Mornings and Tea Afternoons are also a great opportunity to meet Committee Members and find out more about interest groups
