Program
Those of us who live in Berkshire and Surrey know how lucky we are to have a myriad of activities and fascinating places to visit located right at our doorstep. One of the most popular venues in the area is Windsor Great Park, comprising nearly 5000 acres of English natural beauty at its best. You are cordially invited to join us on September 8 to learn more about the Great Park from Bill Cathcart, Superintendent of Parks. Bill will lead us through the fascinating heritage of the Great Park, so we can learn how every century has left its mark on the landscape, from Saxon times through to the present day.
As many of us already know, the park today is the perfect place for picnics, walking, cycling and horse riding. It is also a paradise for gardeners. The Royal Landscape located within the Great Park is a thousand acres of landscaped gardens, lakes and woodland, incorporating The Savill Garden, The Valley Gardens and Virginia Water lake. The Savill Garden and The Valley Gardens are England's finest woodland gardens, designed neither as botanical nor demonstration gardens but simply "gardens for gardens' sake".
Come explore one of England’s most spectacular natural treasures and find out more for yourself! Bill will be bringing copies of The Walker’s Guide: Windsor Great Park by David McDowall to sell to interested members. He will also have maps of Windsor Great Park and Central Windsor and Eton available for you to tuck into your jacket for those walks through the lovely greenery.
Don't forget to stop by the Travel Room before the meeting to plan your travel adventures! |

AWBS is a friendly group offering amazing opportunities to travel, do charity work, attend lectures and join activities. This is all organized by other AWBS members. Participation is the key; get involved and hopefully you can begin to feel that England is a wonderful place to live.
Here at AWBS you will find women just like you - women new to the UK who are looking for fun activities, a philanthropic slant, and great outings. It is so comforting to meet women who are going through the same transition as you are, and also to soak up advice from the ones who have come before. We are a diverse group and move to the UK for different reasons, but we are all here to enjoy our experience and take advantage of all that AWBS has to offer. AWBS also has fresh activities and events for returning members, who are eager for the opportunities to travel, attend lectures, or catch up with old friends.
AWBS is such a wonderful place to share stories, vent frustrations and laugh over your troubles - with women who can relate. The support system is fantastic, not only for those of you in your first ex-pat experience, but also for those who have arrived after living in several other countries. Whether you've just relocated or have been living here for 10 years, AWBS has something to offer. And we want you to not only be a part of our club, but contribute to it as well. Bring us your creative ideas and enthusiasm -- and make this club the best it can be. If you see a need, please fill it! And if you would like to get involved but aren't sure where - let us know and we'll find the perfect spot for your skills.
Welcome! I hope to see you at an upcoming AWBS Welcome Morning or General Meeting soon.
