MEMBERS of Stedham WI took a horse-drawn barge trip from Godalming towards Guildford.

The summer outing, which was organised as the group does not have a meeting in August, saw 15 members tuck into a cream tea, served on board.

President Vanessa Blaber said: “We were lucky with the weather. The day had dawned damp and rainy, the first wet morning for weeks, however the rain had cleared by mid-morning and it was quite dry again, though cloudy, by the time we set sail at 2pm.

“The overall impression of the boat trip was the incredible smoothness and silence of the boat – or it would have been silent without all the chatter!

“The horse towing the boat strolled along the tow-path and we were assured that it was not being overworked even though there were more than 40 people on the boat.
