The OSGB did not escape the terrible weather last autumn and unfortunately the visit to Burnham Nurseries in Newton Abbot, Devon on 24 November 2012 had to be cancelled (the railway line was washed away). However, the visit has been rescheduled for Saturday 9 March by kind invitation of Sara Rittershausen who has offered to provide lunch in Burnham’s excellent coffee shop as well as entry to their beautiful display house, Orchid Paradise, free for OSGB visitors.
Members around the country will need to make their own arrangements/bookings for travel to the nursery. However, a group will be travelling from London Paddington to Newton Abbot station and members may join this group if they wish. Taxi/minibus transfer between Newton Abbot station and Burnham Nurseries (2 miles) will be paid for/refunded by the OSGB.
Please note: it is much cheaper to buy two singles than a return ticket www.thetrainline.com
Dep: 09:06 London Paddington Arr: 11:38 Newton Abbot (£17.50)
Dep: 16:41 Newton Abbot Arr: 19:22 London Paddington (£22.00)
Prices correct at time of going to press, for single tickets bought in advance without a railcard. Tickets are much more expensive if not bought well in advance.
Members must contact Francis Quesada-Pallares by 1 March to confirm their place for lunch and/or transport to/from Newton Abbott station, tel: 07951 070637, e-mail: ols_francisjquesadapallares@hotmail.com
If you have not received an e-mail confirmation from Francis within a few days please telephone him to confirm.
