HALH Summer Visit

Since 1997, HALH has organised a garden party or visit for members.  Each year the venue changes which gives everyone a chance to see another place in Hertfordshire (or just across the border in neighbouring counties).  We try to find somewhere which has a pleasant garden for people to visit, a historic house/church and where we can sit and enjoy tea together.  Notice for each year's Summer Visit is distributed with the Spring mailing.
