VISIT TO THE MUSEUM OF THE CORPS OF ROYAL SIGNALS, BLANDFORD ON MONDAY, 14TH APRIL 2025

The Questers’ Committee are currently arranging a visit to the Corps of Royal Signals at Blandford on the Monday 14 April 2025.  There is a maximum of 15 on this trip and although the minibus can take 16, the tour has space for 15 only. I already have some names.

First come, first choice of seats on the bus!

It’s a minibus trip leaving at 9.15am prompt from Wickes.  The cost of the minibus, entrance and a guided tour should not exceed £18 per person.  We need at least 12 names to make this trip financially viable otherwise it will be cancelled.

There is a café selling hot and cold food and drinks for lunch after the guided tour.

Visit to Bremont Watch Factory : 20 March 2025

This is first notification of the proposed visit to the Bremont watch
manufacturing plant in Henley-on-Thames on Thursday 20th March 2025.
Transport will be by minibus, departing from Wickes car park as usual at
09.00 prompt. The journey should take about 1.5 to 1.75 hrs depending
upon traffic.

The tour lasts approx. 2 hours and covers most
departments in their purpose built 35,000 sq. ft. factory which they call
The Wing.

Bremont is a British owned company who claim to have the only large-
scale facility in the country which designs, manufactures and assembles
precision watches in their entirety. In their modern machining workshop,
they use the very latest technology; all of which will be seen as part of
the tour.

The cost will be £34.00 per person including transport. After covering
their costs, Bremont donate all of the surplus from the tour cost to
charities. It is believed that the current charity is the London Air
Ambulance Service. The maximum number permitted for each tour is
15, and as usual our first come, first served policy will operate. There is
also a minimum number required to make the minibus hire viable; and all
those intending to join will be expected to use the bus.

You are recommended to have a look at the Bremont website which
gives a lot more information about the company and their products.
We are currently investigating the options for lunch after the tour.

Please indicate to me as soon as possible if you are seriously interested
in this visit so that we may assess its viability.

Best wishes
