Social event Sunday 10th July - Thatcham Nature Discovery Centre

It may appear that we've had our summer already, but we hope it will be back in time for our proposed "social" - a trip to the Nature Discovery Centre at Thatcham on Sunday 10th July. Please see http://www.westberks.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=3791 for info about what's there and for directions.

It's proposed that we meet there at 3pm and do whatever you'd like:

• make use of the playgrounds
• walk around the lake,
• feed the ducks
• enjoy a quiet cup of tea in the cafe

Maybe we'll even organise a game or two of something. If you're a good games-organiser or have any ideas you'd like to share please let me know!

Then we can enjoy a "bring-your-own-and-maybe-share" picnic tea at about 4.30-5pm. Whatever happens, weather permitting, it's an opportunity to spend some time together and get to know each other a bit better.

Anyway, we'd be delighted if you'd join us, so if you're a "definite" yes, a "probable" or a "maybe", please let me know. Equally, I'd like to hear from you if you think it's a terrible idea and/or you'd like to suggest alternative social events for another time!

Once we have an idea of numbers we might be able to organise lifts/car sharing, to reduce our carbon footprint, so please indicate, too, if you'd like a lift or would expect to have space in your car.

Thanks for your time. I look forward to hearing from you and, hopefully, seeing you on 10th July,

Richard Yates
