Social Programme
As usual at Coling, Wednesday 20th August was excursion day. The day started with a visit to a trip to Tatton Park, with its 18th-century Mansion House, Edwardian gardens, Tudor Old Hall, and 1,000-acre deer park. After lunch we made the short trip to the historic town of Chester, famous for its Roman ruins, Elizabethan two-tiered arcades, its complete city walls, the Eastgate clocktower, and plenty of other attractions.

Another event to look forward to was the reception at Manchester’s gothic Town Hall on Tuesday 19th August. Click here for pictures. And no Coling would be complete without the banquet, held at the impressive Palace Hotel, a historical grade II listed building, on Thursday 21st August. Click here for pictures.
