Mystery outing 21st August
Over 40 members boarded the coach on a warm sunny day to set off on our summer outing. Despite interrogation Jean hadn't given any clues - so none of us knew where we were heading.
So where did we end up?
Poundbury - the experimental new town, supported by Prince Charles, near Dorchester.
After a quick drink in the garden centre we split into 2 groups for a guided tour of the town. It was an interesting destination, one that many of us had driven past but had never been around. Opinions were divided on whether it was a place we'd like to live.
After lunch we drove to Whitford where the local WI provided a very welcome tea with far more cakes than we were able to eat.
