Late summer walk and picnic
LSC members (and a few husbands/partners) got together for a socially distanced late summer walk and picnic at Studland, on the Dorset coast, hosted by our Vice President Joanna Milner-Percy. With members coming from Cheshire, Suffolk, London and Bournemouth, many chose to make a weekend of it and had dinner together, albeit in their bubbles at well spaced tables, at the Purbeck Golf Club on Saturday evening. There was fine weather for the walk, so much so some even ventured into the sea for a dip…. The walk was followed by a picnic with small groups of picnickers relaxing on the outfield of the cricket pitch in the grounds of Studland Bay House, the old family home of one our members Sarah Ferguson; this was topped off with a tour of the house and gardens. There will be a more detailed account in this year’s bulletin, but a selection of pictures from the day are below:
