10. V8 Dinner at the Red Lion in Chalgrove
Usually our end of season event is a curry night which had been planned for a popular curryhouse at Bourne End near Marlow, some 15 miles to the south east of the Churches Tour. For 2015 we have moved the curry night to a dinner at the welcoming pub at Chalgrove at the end of the Churches Tour.
