We were hoping to organise a trip to the
Radley Lakes and are waiting for information on available
dates. In the Spring a visit to Radley Great Wood
has been proposed.
Mr Ian Yorston, Science Master at Radley
College since 1994, gave a humorous and entertaining tour
of the college, pointing out many items of interest in
a condensed tour. A rare opportunity to visit the
Chapel over the memorial arch was included. The
Mansion House and its restoration after the fire in 1998
was a subject of considerable interest. Mr Yorston
has promised a further opportunity to visit again and
see some of the areas which were unavailable due to the
college being closed.
TRAILER
RIDE – LOWER RADLEY
1
July 2010 starting at 6 pm at Lower Radley Farm
Again,
suitable for the older age groups
Mr
Nick Frearson gave a very interesting tour of his farm,
showing the diverse ways in which he was utilising the
land. Seeing the results of the recent drought
conditions brought home the problems faced by farmers
as they struggle with the elements to make a living.
The evening
finished with a glass of wine and nibbles and a chance
to chat to about the exent of the village, as the trailer
went to the furthest reaches off the farm.
