LONDON ASSOCIATES TRIP TO PORTSMOUTH
A great day out.
At 8am on Wednesday 19th
June 47 associates set out from Grays for a day in Portsmouth to sample the
pleasures of the Royal Navy's Historic Dock Yard and the pleasures of the
Gunwharf Quays shopping centre.Â
We arrived at about 11.30 and went to the Gunwharf Quays.Â
Every one set off to sample the wide range of shops and outlets.Â

commentary about them.
