29 September, 10.00am – 12.00pm, £15 Warwick town centre
A guided walking tour covering Fulke Greville’s local connections and former home in Warwick. The tour will start by exploring the interiors and grounds of Warwick Castle, the building
he saved from dereliction, and end with his spectacular tomb in St Mary’s Collegiate Church.
(Meeting point:Warwick Castle stables entrance. Please note – walking shoes are advised.This event is unsuitable for wheelchairs)
We are considering going to this guided walk.
£15 is quite reasonable if it also includes getting inside Warwick Castle.

One of the biggest burdens on society is the mass of immigrants that have been allowed in that are net consumers rather than contributors to our society. Recent immigration has been bad for the UK in so many ways. But hey, most of those that promote it don't have to live with it and suffer the daily effects of it: yet!

I suppose it's an impossible job in a lot of ways. There's a lot of opposition to the huge benefits bill, but there's also a lot of anger about letting people slip into poverty due to having their benefits cut. Local and national governments are having to make cuts everywhere (although they don't seem able to deal with inefficiency & waste), although throwing money at problems doesn't seem to work - and Johnny Taxpayer will have to pay out for increases in funding anyway. So, at the end of the day, it falls to organisations like this to sort the mess out. I suppose 'Call me Dave's' Big Society is happening after all.
