Visit to Drake’s Island

KLHS Committee are delighted to confirm the final outing before our summer break.

The visit will take place on the morning of Thursday 27 June, departing from the Barbican Platform at 11 am and returning at about 2 pm. The boat trip is provided by Plymouth Boat Trips.  NB There is no disabled access on the Island, and there are no refreshment facilities so you will need to bring with you any drinks and snacks you want. We have made a reservation for lunch at Rockfish at 2.15. We do not need to pre-order but we will need to tell them final numbers nearer the time and they have advised taking a look at their menu online in advance so that we are ready to order on arrival.

The cost of the visit (excluding lunch) is £20 per person and as we will be invoiced in advance it would be helpful if you want to come if you could please send your £20 by bank transfer to the KLHS account:
Kingston Local History Society 30-94-72 00521090 Alternatively, please post the fee in an envelope clearly marked with your name, directly through the Treasurer’s letterbox: Janet Burton at Dolphin Lodge (the cream and green house opposite Yellands).  Cash or cheque is acceptable and an email receipt will be sent.  


The visit can accommodate up to 40 people so we will have to operate on a first come first served basis. So please confirm by 7 June if you would like to come and if you will want to stay on for lunch.
