The Abingdon Works Centre will be putting on another Summer Day Out in 2003. It will be at Rousham House on Sunday 13th July. This will follow the established format of of these annual AWC events with five separate road runs to the venue of about 60 miles each. Rousham House is a superb house which has been in the same family for over 500 years, has a great deal of history and wonderful gardens running down to the River Cherwell.

The entry fee for this event will be £15.00 per car including the passengers which will include a visit to the house and gardens plus one of the five road runs to Rousham. Other entertainments are planned on the field set aside for the AWC Summer Day Out where there are a number of large trees which will provide shade from the sunshine the organiser, John Venables, has ordered for this event! John Venables is also arranging for a mobile bar to provide refreshments to quench your thirst plus coffee and tea. Members will need to take their own picnic as there are no refreshment facilities at Rousham House.
