June 17 2019: Chawton House and Gardens,
home of Jane Austen’s brother followed by Jane Austen’s House
At Chawton House
they foster research and understanding of early women
writers, restoring them to their rightful place in the
history of English literature and enabling them to speak
directly to – and inspire – future generations.
They have a unique collection
of women’s writing which is accessible to anyone who
wishes to use it. Many of the works in the collection were
entirely neglected throughout the twentieth century –
research carried out here is helping to put these books
and their authors back on the intellectual map.
The House and Gardens are
open to visitors, and the historic setting brings to life
the context within which our women writers lived and
worked.
Jane
Austen's House Museum in Chawton is the
house where Jane Austen lived and wrote. It is the most
treasured Austen site in the world.
It was in
this country cottage that Jane's genius flourished and
where she wrote, revised and had published all her major
works, including the timeless Pride
and Prejudice.
There will be a number of
potions on this visit.
At the Chawton House
a guided tour
of the house or a guided tour of the gardens is on offer. There
should be time for a wander in the gardens after the house
tour but not both.
Lunch will be at Chawton House
as part of the package and then in the afternoon we move
on to Janes Austen’s House and Museum. Tea will
be available here or across the road in the teashop.
Please fill in the booking
form, which is on the website, for this trip according to
which tour you wish to do.
When transport is organised for any trip we
have two pick-up points:
West Meads Car Park - Bognor Regis
Shrubs Drive Car Park = Middleton on Sea
Pick-up times will vary and will be published along with details of the trip.
Payments for trips again will vary. Day trips will need to be paid in full prior to the trip and longer stays will require a deposit when booking. All cheques should bve made out to Bognor Regis U3A.
Numbers are limited so in order to secure a
place, payment and booking must be made together.
I am proposing a Matinee trip
to London on Thursday October 3rd to the comedy
lunch, "Rene and Edith", characters from the hit BBC
show "Allo, 'Allo". Rene and Edith are joined by
Yvette, Lt Gruber and Herr Flick for a warm-hearted and
laugh out loud afternoon with some fine dining and some
sensational singing from Yvette. The cast of four will be
working with wireless microphones so that you won’t miss a
word
The trip includes a
three-course lunch:
Potage
Parmentier (soup)
Chicken
confit on a bed of mash
Tarte
au Citron
Tea
& Coffee
The meal is gluten free with vegetarians and folk with
dietary requirements catered for by pre-order.
Bar prices will not break the bank for those who
wish to have a Pernod or Absinthe before or after the
meal,[other less destructive drinks I am sure will be
available!]
There is a minimum
number of 30 persons for the trip.
The cost will be £45 pp for
lunch and £ 20.66 for the coach making a total of
£65.66.
The booking form will be on the
website or available from me by SAE or at the monthly
meeting in March.
