Anyone fancy going to the Liverpool War Museum one Saturday.
It costs £6 for one , but if a party of 10 would cost £3-50 each.
Go over and return by a bus, train or ferry using a saveaway or if you have a free pass click

If we're going as a group to get the cheaper entrance fee, where to meet up and a time?

Western Approaches is located at
1-3 Rumford Street (Near Town Hall),
Liverpool,

I reckon a Saturday within the next 3 weeks

8th June
15th June
22nd June

Meet outside Liverpool Town Hall or the place itself 11 0'clock
