Glut of action
Weekend review
After the culinary glut of the festive period, this weekend there was a sporting glut. Some members travelled far and wide, to the New Forest, Bristol, Lanhydrock and Stroud.
Come and try it!

Would you like to try the sport for the first time or perhaps once more? Or do you know someone who might? If so, you will be made very welcome at our event on Saturday (19th), based at French Weir Park, Taunton, adjacent to Longrun Meadow.
