Ladies Luncheon, Fosse Manor Hotel
Emma Keswick, our president was invited to the Ladies Luncheon at the Fosse Manor Hotel, where she was presented with a cheque for £206, money raised from the luncheon club raffle.
Cotswold Way
Last October, 6 men from Little Rissington took a weeks annual leave from their jobs and walked the Cotswold Way from Bath To Chipping Campden, staying in B&B’s at their own expense, and I understand got very wet! They collectively raised £400 for Kates. I only have their Christian names which are Duncan, Alistair, Jansci, Alan, Mike, John.
