Visit to St Giles Church, Stoke Poges. Thomas Gray's classic poem 'Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard' is believed to have been written here and Gray himself lies buried at St Giles's. We'll also visit the beautiful Memorial Gardens close by the church. If you've not been here before, you'll be surprised at the oasis of calm and beauty at these places. So, if you want to hear the curfew tolling the knell of parting day or even perhaps watch the lowing herd wind slowly over the lea then come and join us! There's an opportunity to take tea afterwards at the swish Stoke Park Club (at your own expense) and there may also be an entry charge for the historic listed Memorial Gardens. Members £3: non Members £5.

Vale of the White Horse.The day's highlight will be a visit to the iconic Celtic horse chalk figure that strides the Berkshire Downs.

We shall also take in the nearby Uffington Castle, Wayland's Smithy and other locations as time allows. Members £3: non Members £5.

Geoff Crockford, who spoke to our group in 2006 on the making of stone circles, will lead us in this quest. Geoff is soon to publish a book on Druidic temples and so is well versed to guide us when we'll dowse for a local example of such a vanished structure.

We're privileged to have one of the leading figures in dowsing circles, someone who's well known on both sides of the Atlantic , to guide us on a visit to one of the UK's most spectacular Neolithic sites. Sig, the author of Spiritual Dowsing , will talk about the 'mythtory'' (half myth/half history) as he terms it, of this major sacred landscape. The day will include a visit to the stone circle, the Sanctuary and the West Kennet long barrow. This is an event with a renowned member of the dowsing community which is not to be missed. This trip may have to be limited to members and friends if over-subscribed.
