Something for the Weekend

It's Friday which means it's that time of the week again where we let you know what we're up to this weekend. 

I will be heading to Hurst Castle which is located a short drive from Shorefield Country Park and Lytton Lawn Touring Park. The castle has had a long and varied history; built by Henry VIII in 1544 and also where Charles I was imprisoned in 1648 before his trial and execution. In the 1870's the castle was modernised during the Napoleonic wars and during World War II it was manned with gun batteries and searchlights. It is now opened to the public and has great views over to the Isle of Wight, making it ideal for photo opportunities.

On Sunday I will be meeting one of our dedicated leisure members,Simon Reed, who is currently in training for the London Marathon. He will be running in aid of the Stars Appeal, a fantastic cause which aims to raise £650,000 to provide a much needed second CT scanner for Salisbury hospital. We look forward to updating you about his progress each month.

We hope you have a fantastic weekend, make sure you check back next week for pictures from this weekend's activities. WI
