Owing to age restrictions on the insurance of drivers, we are no
longer able to hire a minibus for trips to Kew.
Occasionally members may drive to Kew and can offer lifts to
other members, sharing expenses.
If you are interested, please e-mail coaches@folkfhs.org.uk
Jenny Watson will arrange walks round Canterbury or London if we let her know where we would like to visit.
