Sunday 27th August
We all arrived at The Laguna Hotel. After meeting one another we
unpacked and settled in. We had our evening meal at 6.30pm then some
played bingo, followed by the entertainment, which was a singer called
Joe. This was a good chance for a dance for those who wanted to join in. |

Today we drove to Portsmouth where we had a 'Harbour Boat Tour'. On the
return journey we took a lovely drive through the New Forest. In the
evening we played bingo and listened to the female singer. |
Tuesday 29th August
After breakfast we drove to Corfe Castle, part of the journey involved
going on a ferry. The weather was hot and sunny. We ate our sandwiches
and then went shopping for gifts. In the evening Ruth won some money
while playing bingo ! We then listened and danced to the Singer. |

Wednesday 30th August
Today we had a restful morning at the hotel. After this we all went to a
pub called The Spyglass and Kettle. We had a lovely light lunch at this
pub. On the way back we stopped off at the shop then returned to the
hotel to get ready for our evening meal. We played bingo and then
enjoyed another dance to the singer, this time a man called Mike. |
Thursday 31st August
We decided to have a lazy morning and rested a little after breakfast.
We had a lunch time picnic in the hotel grounds. After lunch we went to
Bournemouth sea front to see the Air Tattoo. We split into two groups,
those who wanted to walk further went closer to the pier. The Air Show
was fantastic with the red arrows and many more displays. In the evening
we played bingo and dance to the singer. |

Friday 1st September
This morning was another quiet one but we did use the time to start our
packing. After a picnic in the hotel grounds we all got onto the minibus
and went to the Air Tattoo again. Another fantastic day of displays.
This time Jez dropped us all off closer to the pier. Steven wanted to do
some shopping so Jane went with him. |
Saturday 2nd September
This morning we said an emotional good bye to one another and to
Bournemouth and headed off home. |
