Walking Views May 2008

Looking at our summer Walks Programme, I think I can safely say that with over 50 walks taking place, and with the amount of variety and length, this is our best one yet. We’ve also got quite a few new walks leaders.

Once again Bob ran an excellent Emergency First Aid course; everyone who attended now feels confident to deal with most problems that could arise on our walks. Another Map and Compass course was also organised at Camer Park. 

We had a brilliant weekend away in the Shropshire hills, staying near The Wrekin. Our thanks go to Bill, Doris and the Social Committee for organising such a wonderful time for us all. It was very nice meeting new members who are at the moment taking part on the short walks and, with perhaps more encouragement, will try the longer walks soon.

 We also had an excellent Barn Dance with over 70 members turning up. We all tried new dances! Thanks again to the Social Committee for organising the buffet. With all the events that have taken place and more to come in the summer, I’m sure that there is something to suit everyone.

George, our Chairman, is making steady progress but had a setback after a bout of flu. He sends everyone his best wishes.

Have a great summer!

If you’re interested in joining us for lovely walks in the countryside and great social events, contact Joyce, our secretary, on 020 8310 2453.

 

This Map and Compass course is such hard work!
