This is the trip that was cancelled last year when we were notified that extensive work to the roof of the house was due to take place.
Join us on a grand day out by coach to Boughton House, near Kettering, one of Britain’s finest stately homes. Our coach will leave Newbury Rugby Club at 8.30am returning at approximately 6.30pm
