OUTINGS
Our Annual Coach Outing will be on Tuesday 25 June to Chavenage House, Gloucester, and Malmesbury Abbey Wiltshire. Janet Hurst will be taking bookings for this outing from the end of March, but please put the date in your diary. The day includes a guided tour of this private Elizabethan manor house with its fascinating history. All refreshments and lunch are included. In the afternoon we will travel to Malmesbury for a guided visit to the abbey and a wander round the town, before heading back to Goring. It should be a good day out and I hope you will join us.
