Join us for lively conversation over lunch or just drinks at our regular first Saturday meeting in the Drill Hall, Armoury cafe. For encouragement/ details please contact Christine at [Email] or Jacquie Harrison on [Phone Number]. All very welcome.
One road dominates the Northants events this month. On Thursday 6th August head north-west from Northampton on the A428 to Harlestone, where you will find us in our normal venue - The Fox & Hounds. We'll be somewhere in the bar area as usual from 9pm.
First Thursday is at our regular venue of Jury's Inn on Midsummer Boulevard, on 6th August, from 8 pm. Look out for the Mblem on one of the tables to the right in the foyer. Parking is a bit busy around Jury's and The Hub, so we usually try and get in across the road and then walk through the underpass.
Our annual cream tea meet has been brought forward to 9th August, as they're only doing the second and third Sundays this year. So we're meeting at Little Dalby (just off the Melton to Oakham road) around 3.30 pm for home-made desserts and cakes in a private garden at extremely reasonably prices, followed by a short wander (if you wish) up across a couple of fields to the church - after which we have been known to go back for more. This is the only fundraising the church does, and is very popular: If the weather looks doubtful they put a large gazebo up. Tempted? Please get in touch.
I'm hosting a Tea At Three event at my place this afternoon; this will be held in my garden (weather permitting - indoors otherwise) with board games available for those who are interested. Please let me know if you're coming no later than Sunday 9 August so I can arrange catering.
I'm about ten minutes' walk from Letchworth railway station (Kings Cross - Cambridge line).
Meet at Wendover Station Approach for a walk in the Chilterns. Good bus and train links and parking available at the station.
Just over 7 miles long with slopes, one descent difficult (from Coombe Hill down to Ellesborough). On a clear day there will be fine views of the Wendover Gap, the Aylesbury Vale, the Chequers Manor and the Chequers Estate.
Follow me!
If you want to be sure we don't set off without you, please let Val know you are coming. Contact details with T@3 meeting on 9th August.
We will meet at the Three Horseshoes on the canal side, over the swing bridge down the little lane beside the Texaco petrol station at Bourne End, on the London/Hemel Hempstead Road, just after the A41 roundabout.
We can sit out beside the canal if it is fine, and inside if it rains. All members, young and adult very welcome. There are two car parking areas along the Lane on the opposite side to the pub.
Hoping to see you all there.
