Dear Members
FROME & DISTRICT PROBUS WALK
Horningsham/with Pub lunch, The Bath Arms, Horningsham. Park in the vicinity of The Bath Arms (BA12 7LY) and gather on the green ready to start at 10.30 am.
Tuesday 3rd November 2026– 10.30 am prompt start for long walk – 11.30 am start for short walk
The November walk is traditionally ‘a remembrance walk’ when we place a Probus poppy at a war memorial. This year we will meet at Horningsham, walk in the wider Longleat estate and place a poppy/cross at the memorial stone of the 43rd Wessex Division, which is in the estate grounds not far from The Bath Arms where we will take lunch. The route is undulating on quiet country roads, footpaths and forest tracks. No stiles and approximately 3 miles. Lunch is booked for 1.00 pm in the loft (up some stairs) at The Bath Arms. The long walk will be led by Michael Weale. There will also be a short walk of about an hour’s duration meeting with the long walkers at the memorial stone of the 43 rd Wessex Division. The short walk will be led by John Hedges
Please note: I would like to know who is attending – so please reply specifying long or short walk and your menu choice (see Menu below).
Pubs have suffered from a number of ‘No Shows’ from groups of our size and people not paying for their meal so the booking has only been accepted on these conditions.
- Your meal will have to be pre-ordered by Thursday 29th October (no exceptions please)
- Food is to be paid for before sitting down at the pub and could you make sure that you get a receipt
