Buscott Walk

A fun event for our 'special walk'.

Jo Bowles with 3 dogs and eight other members, enjoyed a lovely walk in the welcome sunshine, around Buscot village.

There was a small hiccup when the Thames towpath was flooded but we still managed 4 miles through woods and fields, followed by a delicious lunch in the Buscot village NT tearoom.

Thu 31 Oct at 2:30pm A Game Called Malice Oxford Playhouse
    A splendid dinner party in an Edinburgh stately home concludes with a murder mystery game created by the hostess. A murder needs to be solved. But the guests have secrets of their own, threatened by the very game they are playing. And among them is Inspector John Rebus. True crime is his calling. Is he playing an alternative game, one to which only he knows the rules? There are suspects, clues and danger with every twist and turn - and a shocking discovery will send this game called Malice hurtling towards a gasp-inducing conclusion.
Expected price is £46.
Contact John Reading to reserve your seat.

Singing?
