Sandringham Flower Show

David Bell sends his annual report on coaches attending the Sandringham Flower Show which returned after a three year gap on 27th July. Changes made since the last show took place include charges for car parking and prohibition of car parking on the approaching roads.

The entry fee for the show has also been significantly increased from £12.50 in 2019 to £20 in 2022. Despite this over 70 coaches turned up mostly from East Anglia but also from Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. Attached is a selection of photographs. Note how brown the grass is an indication of how little rainfall there has been in the area in July.

Details of vehicles illustrated is as follows. KY08 KUF Volvo/Plaxton with Dans Coach Travel of Stowmarket still in the livery of previous owner Three C's Travel of Nedging Tye.
