Hello Questers and potential Questers.
Your committee is continuing to put together a programme of exciting things for us all to do in the next few months. The committee has expanded in the past few months, we’ve welcomed Colin Ramsden and our latest recruit (AKA volunteer) in the form of Pam Shadick! As I have taken over the running of the Skittles group from Barbara Dixon, my last outing is planned for the 14th October to the Milestones Museum in Basingstoke, a wonderful day out.
As there isn’t a formal meeting this month due to the picnic taking place this Wednesday coming, I will be asking for a show of hands to find out if it’s a viable trip just before the 60’s Quiz – you have been warned!
As I say, it would take place on Tuesday, 14th Oct and it would be self-drive. There is a café and bar on the premises and the cost would be in the region of £21 per head. This entitles the bearer unlimited entrance for a whole year!
From cobbled streets to a seaside pier, teddy bears, vintage vehicles, an operating pub, sweet shop and more, there is so much for everyone to see, do and enjoy at Milestones, Hampshire’s museum of living history! Milestones has two lifts and wheelchairs for hire as well. Please take caution when exploring the museum – as an immersive townscapes, some areas in the museum have cobbled floors and curbsides, reflecting the terrain of a real, historic high-street.
The 2 links below give you a brief insight to the museum and also show you what food is on offer (unfortunately at current prices, not 1940!)

As with all of our trips, you are invited to tell the organiser your mobile phone number and Next of Kin details although neither is mandatory.
