Our tour of the Royal Military Academy will include the Grand Entrance and steps of the Old College, the Royal Memorial Chapel and Roman Catholic Chapel, with other prestige rooms, particularly focusing on the Indian Army Memorial Room. This room was originally a chapel, and after serving many other functions, became the Indian Army Memorial Room in 1970. It has recently been refurbished, and contains collections of medals, regimental badges and coats of arms, regimental silver, and an expanded display of portraits and paintings.
The tour will begin at 11 am with tea and coffee, and continue till 1.30 pm. After this, lunch will be arranged for those who wish to participate in a nearby restaurant. The cost of the tour, which includes a complementary guide book, is £25. Lunch will be extra. Parking will be available for those coming by car. A train service runs from London via Waterloo and Ascot to Camberley. A taxi from Camberley Station to the Royal Military College will be available, but must be pre-booked through an authorised taxi company.
Further details about arriving by car, and parking, as well as a list of the authorised taxi companies will be sent two weeks before the event.
