Grace is planning a weekend away for the 5th-7th June.
Where?
We are going to Home Farm which is near Stokenchurch on the M40 about 40 minutes from Ealing (by car). It is a small farm campsite on the edge of the Chilterns with views to the north west. There is the Crown Inn pub about 100m from the site that has B&B accomodation at £65 per night and serves local real ale directly from the cask.

How?
Driving from Ealing usually takes 40mins along the M40 to Junction 5.
Trains run from Marylebone via High Wycombe to Saunderton where we can pick people up by car.

Count me in!
Contact Adam and Kathy Baxter or Richard and Sue Baker-Donnelly or via grace.london@btinternet.com.
We’d love as many people as possible to come along and wouldn’t want anyone to be excluded from the weekend on grounds of cost or lack of camping equipment, so if this is an issue please come and have a chat with us.
What to bring?
Tent, sleeping bag, plate, bowl, mug, glass, cutlery, torch, walking boots, sun tan cream …..!
We may be able to arrange for the loan of tents and other stuff to a few people.
The site is available from noon on Friday – a small group is travelling down early with equipment and should be able to take some tents and pitch them in advance.
Catering
Everyone should make their own arrangements for breakfasts and lunches on Saturday and Sunday – we will provide tea, coffee and milk for breakfast.
Friday evening –we are proposing to produce a simple meal in small groups with those who have cooking equipment.
Saturday evening will be a BBQ probably accompanied by a short Communion together.
