London sea life trip 🐠🐡🦈.
When: Wednesday 8th November
Where you need to go: reading train station🛤
Meeting time: 10:45, there is a train to Waterloo direct at 11:09 so please aim to get there for 10:45. We will move to the platform at 11. If we are not outside the station when you arrive please make your way to the platform. If you miss the train there are other trains 🚂 afterwards so just hop on one and we will meet you there. Don’t forget to select open return when you buy your tickets, we do not know how long we will be in the aquarium.
Sea life centre: the sea life centre sells student tickets, so please download student beans 🫘 app to get a discount. We will arrive in London at 12:35 so please get the 1pm entry ticket 🎟 or anytime entry (it’s up to you)
What to bring: your railcard (if you have one), phone 📱 or camera 🎥 (get some photos for the next photography 📸competition ;) ), waterproof items (jacket or umbrella ☔️, we will be doing a short walk from station to aquarium), snacks and water (we will be on the train around lunch and aquariums are notoriously hot so we don’t want anyone passing out 🥵).
After the aquarium: direct trains🚆 are every 30minutes, if you wish to stay in London and explore that is fine but please let someone know so we don’t wait for anyone that’s not coming.

Send you entries in for the photography competition before Saturday 4th! Voting will take place on this accounts story Saturday evening and Sunday morning so be sure to get your votes in. 1 entry per person, you don’t have to be professional to take part it’s just a bit of fun. Good luck!
