A message from our walks Coordinator
We’re halfway through our current walks calendar and our walking numbers are remaining
steady. January is a great month to shed those extra pounds we gain over the Festive period.
We have a full program starting 7th of January, a medium moderate walk, meeting as usual 9:00
am Morrisons Carpark.
A heads-up, in the coming weeks I shall be asking for walking leaders for our summer calendar.
Why not give it a go, if there’s somewhere you have always wanted to walk but you’ve never
led a walk, there are previous leaders who will be willing to help, give them a shout.

Charity Links
The committee is aware several of our members have links with and promote various charities.
If you wish to make yourself known as a point of contact for a particular charity or have a
charitable event coming up, email the club, a committee member or myself
Richard.clapham@icloud.com with a paragraph on your subject and we will include it in the
next newsletter. If enough interest is shown I’m happy to generate and circulate a separate
bulletin
Recruitment Drive
While publicising the club, posters in shop windows, attending functions, online exposure and
general word of mouth, we’ve seen an increased number of enquiries, some potential new
members. There are printed flyers available for any member who would like copies to place on
a notice board near you, perhaps you could hand them to interested walkers as you pass. For
copies, please ask any committee member.
We need your help
We always need volunteers to manage or help organise some events if we are to continue with them. So if you can help please contact our secretary who has kindly offered to collate this info for the committee. It’s your chance to put your own slant on an event or bring something new!!
Veterans Section
The Veterans Section meet once a month for an outing, sometimes by coach, sometimes by bus and now and again in cars. We’d love to have younger and more active members along sometimes, either as ‘helpers’ or merely to join in the fun. Car drivers are particularly welcome, to enable us to visit rural Yorkshire areas during the summer months. If you want to discuss this further please contact Lizzie Lowe (contact details on your printed version of the newsletter)
