The Mary Rose, Portsmouth Dockyard

After some years conservation and limited access a dedicated museum has been built where the remains and thousands of artefacts from the wreck are on display.
Faced with the ever-present threat of the French navy and a strong Scottish fleet, Henry VIII started building his naval firepower as soon as he was King. The Mary Rose took pride of place in his new fleet.
She sank in the Solent some 500 years ago for reasons yet unknown but is now recovered and for your inspection. At its time it was the cutting edge of naval technology and is something not to be missed.
We will travel by coach from Cirencester Beeches Car park leaving at 8.30am. The coach fare will be £26 per person. There is a charge for entry of £16 to Mary Rose Museum payable on the day, but it may be possible to get either a group ticket £14 or a ticket for all attractions £21 if we have sufficient takers with prior booking. I would need in the latter case to have your choice and money for entry at least three weeks before we go.
Please send your cheques for the coach fare payable to ‘Fairford Classic Car Club’ to Bunny Lees-Smith at 1 Follyfield, Hankerton, Malmesbury, SN16 9LA tel 01666 577275
