June Jollies


Here are our offerings for June... why not join us? If you have a suggestion, please let us know and we will add it to the list.


June 1st Dinner at the White Horse This is the new restaurant on the race course. We've heard some good reports, but think the setting alone, right on the race course, is worth giving it a try. It also has a cosy looking interior and (most importantly?!) a good, varied menu (and for Jim, their own brew!)
So, please come along: RSVP Michaela to book a place.

June 8/9 Tilston Garden Trail  10.30am - 5pm, entrance fee £6 .  Gardens taking part are posted at the start at near the Carden Arms public house in the centre of Tilston.  Many of the owners offer coffee and cakes at a reasonable price. RSVP Lynda Busler to let her know which day you would prefer to go. Once a day is chosen, we can decide where and when to meet.

June 15 Thornton Hough Circular Walk  Calling at Brimstage Craft Centre where we can have coffee and cakes, or we can book for a lunch at The Country Mouse Restaurant.  Park in Thornton Hough (suggest bottom of the cricket field by the public lavatories) and meet outside the Seven Stars Public House at 11am. RSVP Lynda Busler just so she know how many to expect.

June 24Book Club We meet every six weeks at 8pm at the Cheshire Cat. We intend to meet up on a Monday - a quiet evening there by their own admission, so there should be a quiet corner for us.  We picked 8 pm, to give any people who want to have a bite before we begin, time to do so. We will discuss the book "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" by Rachel Joyce. This was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2012. You can get it from Amazon as a printed book or as downloadable version to read on your computer. It is also available at Sainsbury's for just under £4. Let Renee know if you intend to be there, we look forward to a good crowd, bring spouses, friends, anyone who might be interested!
FYI: The next book club evening is planned for 27 August; the book for that night is "Notes from an Exhibition" by Patrick Gale.

Sunshine and Smiles at the Cheshire Cat Monthly Meeting
We had a lovely morning sitting outside for out meeting this month. We even had a visit from a founder member, Barbara, who now lives in Portugal. We are so glad she came on a sunny day!
