Have you ever had falcons, eagles and owls fly really close over your head so you can actually feel the wind from their wings??? Why not come along with us at the falconeria in Locarno? It is well worth a visit and we hope many of you will be interested in coming along on a ‘different’ sort of day away!! We will see the birds in flight at 11h00 – a show that lasts 45 minutes which literally ‘flies’ by. Then we will have a light lunch in a restaurant nearby. We are looking into a restaurant and will let you know later on near the date. Time: 9.30am meet up in Lugano for car sharing to go to 11.00am show. Cost: CHF: 18.- (for a group of 10 over 65’s for the show) otherwise CHF: 22.- CHF: 25.- for younger members Plus the cost of the lunch you choose Reservations to: Mrs Patty Pellegrini, Via Baroffio 1, 6850 Mendrisio, tel: 091 646 5352, or Mrs Penny Osti, tel/fax: 091 970 1654 Email: p.osti@bluewin.ch or Mrs Beverly Ortelli, tel: 091 630 0086 Email: 1superspider@nluemail.ch
