Fladbury Kitty #9 – Minibus trip needs bums on seats

This minibus trip to Pershore needs our support if we are to establish a regular service for the village. Hence we’re sending this notice out again. You could maybe pop into Number 8 to see Mark Zytynski’s free exhibition of photographic artworks and prints featuring trees and woodlands.
Thank you.
John, KIT editor, email:fladburykit@gmail.com
Minibus Trip to Pershore ? 10.30am Wednesday 27th April.
With the help of the Pershore Volunteer Centre and Fladbury Parish Council, a trip has been arranged to visit Pershore for a couple of hours. You might want to visit the central market, get groceries from Asda/Tesco Express, do general shopping, visit the library, grab a cup of coffee with friends, stroll in the Abbey park, or just wander by the river.

Pick ups, drop off & return trip:
The minibus will pick up from The Chantry at 10:30, then at the junction of Farm Street and Paynes Lane, then finally at the centre of Butt Furlong. The drop off will be in the main (Asda) car park in Pershore adjacent to the central market. The return trip will depart from the same drop off point 2 hours later and will drop passengers at the three pick up points in Fladbury.

Cost, limits & access:
The cost is £3 per person, payable to the driver in an envelope with your name & address written on the outside. We are limiting the number to 10 passengers. This is to allow room for full shopping bags and any walking aids you need. The minibus has steps for access. It also has a Horizontal Lifting Platform — those with mobility limitations can use this under the control of the driver.

Booking your seat
The trip is on a first-come-first-served basis. John Bolt, tel: 860768 or mob: 07772495126, is coordinating this trip. Please give him a call to book your place and pick-up preference. This trip is a trial run. If successful, we hope to introduce a more permanent arrangement.
