SONNING WEEKEND & PRESIDENT'S NIGHT

Fri, May 17th 2013 at 12:00 am- Sun, May 19th 2013 - 12:00 am

A relaxing time at Sonning on the Thames. Our Hotel was the Great House and we went to a Dinner Theatre on the Friday evening. On Saturday we cruised on the Thames and later had President's Night at our Hotel.

The Great Escape to Sonning on the Thames was organised by John Thomson and all the arrangements went without a hitch.

Twenty six Rotarians and partners met for lunch on the way there at The Old Mill, a  beamed converted water mill at Odiham and by late afternoon all forty-two of our party had assembled at The Great House Hotel at Sonning.

The Great House was a lovely old hotel beside the river.  We found the rooms and food really excellent and the staff charming and attentive. A first class choice.  After meeting in the bar we walked across the adjacent bridge to an old converted mill, which hosted us for a convivial dinner and then into the theatre in the same building. The play was
