Ladies ride to The Barn (Open garden)
Vivary Park
09:30 – 16:00
I have broken my big toe, as you are aware, so will not, very sadly, be leading this ride :( But the wonderful Hazel has agreed to do so for me. Please direct any queries about the venue to me though (Dilys on 07831 603010), and any food requirements. I'm hoping that I will be able to join you for lunch.
Ride out to see a beautiful garden in great company. What more could you want? This garden is opening by arrangement, just for us. As such, refreshments are limited, so I need to know by Wednesday 21st June whether you would like sandwiches as well as cake (bearing in mind it's a reasonable length ride). If you have any dietary requirements, please let me know those as well. Debbie is keeping it simple as it's all for charity - e.g. cheese/pickle and one other. You may wish to bring a snack with you as well/instead.
Entry to the garden is £4, refreshments (including sandwiches) £5. Drink and cake only is £3. Debbie does have a card reader she informs me.
There is a toilet in the house, but it may be polite to use the Barrington Court facilities before arriving. It's a few minutes away, and you don't need to pay to go and use them apparently.
