We will be visiting the historic Roman city of Chester, on the English side of the Anglo-Welsh border. Please meet in the lobby of the Imperial Hotel at 09:15.
If the business of Congress has finished on Tuesday, we will request a larger bus so that delegates and officials may also participate in this excursion.

The bus will drop you in Chester where you will be free to explore the city.
Chester has plenty of bars and cafes where you can find lunch.
Thursday 15 August
Portmeirion and Beddgelert
We will be visiting the baroque style folly village Portmeirion, designed and built by Sir Clough William-Ellis between 1925 and 1975. Entry to the attraction will be provided, but attendees must provide their own lunch (there are restaurants at the attraction, or the Imperial Hotel can provide you with a packed lunch).
The 1967 TV series, The Prisoner, starring Patrick McGoohan, was filmed at Portmeirion and can be found on some of the usual online streaming services (Amazon Prime, FreeVee, Roku, Plex, and others) or online here. It would be fun to watch some episodes before visiting "The Village".
