Bingham, Car Colson and Scarrington, 24th April 2022

The bi-annual Cake Walk started at the WI Hut in Bingham and 28 members and guests headed out on good tracks over Parson's Hill to Car Colston and Scarrington to visit the display of cherry blossom and the famous horse shoes before returning across fields to Bingham. After the walk, tea and cakes were served in the WI Hut by ladies from the local branch of the NSPCC raising £174 for the charity.

Thanks to everyone involved.
