First Thursday is at our regular venue of Jury's Inn on Midsummer Boulevard, on 4th June, from 8 pm. Look out for the Mblem in either the foyer or the bar - most likely the foyer as it's quieter. 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 Third Wednesday meeting at the Old Beams in Shenley Lodge is back to normal this month, on 17th June. If you're definitely planning to come, please let me know as it will help us to grab the right sized table, but don't let that put you off deciding on the spur of the moment - you'll still be welcome.

See www.mcmullens.co.uk for location and menu details. You can eat or not, as you wish - their food is quite good and reasonably priced. Look around for the Mblem as we don't always get the same table each time.

Walk 

The Phoenix Trail is part of the National Cycle Network, a shared use path for walkers, horse riders and cyclists. It runs along a disused railway line between Thame and Princes Risborough. The surface is flat and suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. Total distance is five miles plus another mile or so to reach the centre of Princes Risborough.

A number of specially commissioned art works are located along the trail, many of which provide seats for those needing a rest! Admire the Chiltern countryside and wildlife. Note that there are few facilities along the route, but plenty of places to find refreshment in Princes Risborough once we get there.

We will be starting from Thame and walking towards Princes Risborough. Meet up at 11:00am outside the Town Hall in Thame. Buses run to Thame from Aylesbury, Oxford and High Wycombe. From Princes Risborough you can catch a train back to Haddenham and Thame Parkway, High Wycombe or Aylesbury.

Please ring me on [Phone Number] or e-mail me at [Email] to let me know you are coming.
