This statue, recognising the important part horses played in The First World War, can be found on the revised Romsey Permanent Trail Route.

Members meet at the start outside The Cock Inn, Lavenham, ready for the July 2017 walk.

Cardinal Wolsey was Chancellor to Henry VIII. He died at Leicester Abbey in 1530, and was buried in the grounds. The statue was donated to the city by Wolsey, The International Knitwear Firm.

Thomas Cook began his tourism company  on July 5th, 1841, when he successfully organised a rail excursion from Leicester to Loughborough, so travellers could attend a temperance meeting. The cost was one shilling per person.

The annual B.B.Q was held at the home of Ray and Pat Shanks, who, along with Kay and Colin Smith, prepared an excellent B.B.Q. The sincere thanks to all four are extended by all members who attended.

Below are photos of members enjoying the good weather and excellent food.
