Summer Party
FoBC members enjoying our annual Summer Party at Berkeley Castle last Sunday, hosted by Charles Berkeley and attended by other members of the Berkeley family. Some sixty Friends enjoyed Pimms and canapés on the garden terrace. Funding for the Friends objectives was assisted by a well supported raffle organised by deputy chair Diana Merrett, pictured with FoBC chairman Paul Walkden.
Countess of Wessex at Berkeley Castle
Sophie, Countess of Wessex, visited the Castle on 10 September.
She was greeted by rapturous applause from the children of Berkeley Primary School, shown round the Castle by Charles Berkeley and then presented to the Friends' Committee, guides and volunteers, and the Berkeley family.
Here are a couple of photos from a very memorable occasion:
