Just spent 2 v hot days with some members in lovely Lichfield, visiting Cathedral & @Nat_Mem_Arb. Buggy rides helped us enjoy the memorials more comfortably.
TY to our hosts - you were so welcoming!
Thankfully, nobody succumbed to the heat but most gave in to ice cream 😂🍦

So, here we have our Chair & Governance Trustee, both RAF Vets, who have finally seen the light & defected to the Senior Service 😉😂
They were at a Charity Governance Seminar for WWA. I suspect there may also have been wine & shopping involved. No judgement, just saying😉
