University of London Buddhist Association (ULUBUDA), Imperial College Buddhist Society (ICBS), Queen Mary Buddhist soc and Kings Buddhist soc are going to organise a day trip (temple visit) to the Amaravati Buddhist Monastery at Hemel Hempstead. It is very nice monastery and normally we need to take the tube to Euston, then take a train to Berkhamsted station and finally taking a taxi to the temple. This usually will cost around 20 pounds per person if you are travelling in groups. We will like to make it easier for you by renting a coach for 50 people which will take us from Central London to Amaravati directly. If we go by coach, it will only cost us

£12 per person
Money will be collected during any of our meetings before the trip

Sat 17th March

If the response is good, we will donate the extra money collected to Amaravati. It took us a while to decide the date and I picked Sat 17th March at the end as it’s the end of term for most of us. Hope you can make it, please feel free to ask any questions about the trip.
