A lovely photo from one of the Walking Group's recent walks in Savernake Forest. The sign refers to the ancient oak tree of course! For more details of ancient trees on walks in Wiltshire follow this link.


Proposed New Groups!

History Group
Jenny Knight is offering to lead this group on 1st Monday of the month at The Hub lasting for 1 and half hours approx. Topics for discussion and research would be decided by the group members. There would be a charge of £2.50 to cover the cost of hall hire and a drink.
If you are interested please contact Jenny Knight via the Committee page.

Cuppa and Chat and/or Lunch Club
Would anyone be interested in joining either of these clubs? Days and venues would be decided by those involved. We know that our monthly coffee mornings are popular so we could extend this to a morning or afternoon in local cafes. Lunch venues might be further afield. 
If you are interested or require further information please contact Jane Fiddler via the Committee page.

If there is sufficient interest in these proposed new group(s) they could start up from September. Watch this space!


The Gardening group has organised a full programme of visits; details below.

Also with the Gardening group, there are now new co-ordinators, Gill Latham and Angie Wedgwood, after Liz Camfield has decided to relinquish the role. Many thanks to Liz from us all for all the hard work she has put into establishing and running the group for many years.
