A PARTY of 20 members, plus one brave husband, from North Stifford WI travelled by coach to Hampton Court on Wednesday, August 20.

When they boarded the coach for their return to North Stifford, the consensus was that a most enjoyable day was had by all, not only learning the history and seeing the many exhibits, but a visit to the beautiful gardens with only a brief shower which had not marred the day.
