    Dates for your Diary

    Saturday 7th February 2009: Barn Dance - Farewell to Kath

    Saturday: Two-tiered walks for the fit and less able (1-3 miles footpath walks)

    Most walks are out of Arnold but occasionally, when cars are not available, we take one of the many footpath walks in the Arnold area.

    Depart from Arnold Leisure Centre car park (near bus stop) at 1.30pm.   [occasional walks further afield with 10.30am departure]   Walks led by Helen. For more information phone Helen on 9201373.

    A chat over coffee or tea at the end of the walk makes a pleasing and sociable end to the walk. If you are interested contact one of the walk leaders or turn up at the meeting point. You may be sure of a friendly welcome. Stout footwear is recommended (no high-heels).

    Pauline Tilling has kindly offered to send Get Well/Condolence cards etc. on behalf of the Amblers. If anyone knows of any member who is ill or recently bereaved, please contact Pauline with the details on 8598192.
