Proposal:
Coach trip to the Museum of Steam at Swindon for a personal conducted tour and talk, leaving Newent at 0930. Allow a half day for this, this gives us time to explore at our leisure other aspects of the Museum that perhaps we would like more time for. There is of course the nearby Outlet Centre for those in need of Retail therapy and shopping . Departure probably around 1600. Overall cost around £20 depending on final numbers
