Chorley Circle visit Poland

On 29^th June a group of 11 Catenians and wives left Liverpool Airport for a 4-night break in the beautiful Polish city of Krakow. The trip was organised and led by Brother Nick Hanley of Chorley Circle and his wife Kate. The group included Brother Robert Thompson, President of Province 10, of Lytham Circle and other members of the group represented Burnley, Longridge, and Garstang Circles.

Visits to Auschwitz and the Salt Mines were organised and there was plenty of free time for shopping or simply to relax and see the city sights including a visit to the Jewish Quarter, a sail on the River Vistula or just a stroll through the parks. The restaurants of Krakow are to be recommended for the quality of the food and wine and their very reasonable prices. The group took full advantage of their fare. Except for the final day, when it poured with rain, sunshine prevailed and the daytime temperature hovered around 31 degrees.

The trip was completed by a dim sum lunch at the Tai Pan Chinese Restaurant on the return from Liverpool Airport. 

To sum it up – a good time was had by all.

The group was photographed by a willing passer-by outside
