LONDON AND CHILTERN EVENTS 2022
A small group of us met to enjoy walking in the pretty gardens and admire the spectacular view over the River Thames and beyond. There was much reminiscing and laughter as we chatted and caught up with life over coffee and lunch in the Garden Cafe.
Despite our group reducing in size as travel and health become more challenging, our small group who managed to make the dat always manage to have a good time.
Food, service and the company were excellent, so a good time was had by all!
The Branch Members continue to meet up at least a couple of times a year, the latest being to Cliveden National Trust Property for coffee and a walk around as suited the individuals.

VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM MAY 2022
Seven of the Chiltern group met on a very sunny day in May at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. It was lovely to welcome Sally Owens (nee Somerville) who has joined our number. We enjoyed a good catch-up over coffee in the court yard and later enjoyed lunch in the splendid Gallery Cafe before going our separate ways. A good day was had by one and all. - Jane Morley
LONDON AND CHILTERN EVENTS 2020
"Chiltern had a day out on the 11 February and we picked a dry sunny day in between two wet one!!
Most met at Waterloo, but we met two more at The Royal Hospital Chelsea, where we had coffee, lunch and a look around the Chapel, Church, Dining Hall and Museum. A lovely visit with lots of chatter!!
Some of us had a cup of tea in the Army Museum before we dispersed."
LONDON AND CHILTERN EVENTS 2019
On Thursday 19 September 5 of the members, and myself, met for coffee (and a long chat!) in the Festival Hall. Four of us decided we would travel down the river to Greenwich, as unfortunately Suzanne couldn't make all day. The weather was great, clear blue sky, the commentary on the boat was informative and funny and we all learnt a lot about that part of the River Thames and surrounding buildings.
Once on dry land we headed to The Old Brewery for lunch - and there we stayed!! Lunch was very good with a varied menu and, of course, we could sit outside. Time flew by and it was time to get the boat back... so it will have to be another trip to see the College!! Again a good journey back to end a very enjoyable day.
