The Photo Gallery has been updated with the latest photos.
These are of the lovely walk that Don & Jean Todd led through
Southend Common & Stonor Park. It was much appreciated that they
came out and led this walk despite their current ailments. We wish
Jean a good recovery following her knee operation done since the
walk. The photos are a mixture of some of mine and those sent in by
Peter London.
************************************************** Peter has also sent me pictures taken on the walk that some of you did from the coach trip to Rochester. These are now included in the Photo Gallery. This is what Peter has to say about the walk: " Margaret Welsford expertly led a group of 14 walkers along part of the North Downs Way into Rochester. As the photos show, the sun shone, the views were excellent and the walking most enjoyable. Those who hurried into Rochester on the coach missed a treat - thank you Margaret!" Peter London ************************************************** Message from John Vint: BROWNSEA ISLAND SEPTEMBER 20TH. GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS. The good news is all seats have been spoken for. The trip is definitely on, coach booked , ferry booked and the island advised -we are coming! The bad news is, I am over booked by four places, which I have to correct. I intend to pick a date in the near future and all those who have not paid, their names go into a hat and the first four out will have to be bumped and placed on a waiting list. Very sorry and all that, but I cannot think of a fairer way of doing this. So my message is - get your money to Pat or me fast. The fare is £12 payable to the group, £4.90 payable on the day to the ferry direct, the island is free for all NT. members (you must bring your NT card.) £4.70 for non-members. Should be a lovely day, I will organise the weather nearer the time. Any queries to me please 01628 661590 or e-mail jcvint@aol.com John ************************************************** Anne & Arthur Lewis had this to say about the trip to Rochester & Chatham: Trip to Rochester & Chatham. Had a lovely day, weather was kind and to add to the enjoyment of the day there was a Dickens Festival in the town whereby people were dressed as Dickens characters and there was a procession through the town lead by the band. (Photos in the Gallery) ************************************************** I have a message for you from Patrick Crowson regarding his walk in August:Please use the car park at Neville Hall on the 24th August to park your cars on the day of my walk, as I've hired the car park for the walk. Also, it's for our exclusive use, so people must not worry about parking behind, or across anyone else in the car park. ************************************************** NEWS FROM THE SHOWS Some news & pictures from the shows where we have had a stall (Sent in by Dave Ramm)  Above - At the Duck Derby, Kath Cutting explaining things to the Mayor.  To the right - At the Maidenhead Carnival, a visitor signs the petition. This says: "We, the undersigned, petition the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead to pursue with vigour the creation (on grounds of safety, amenity, convenience and visitor attraction) the remaining 33 metres of footpath needed to provide a traffic-free route along the riverside from Boulter's Lock to Maidenhead Bridge." The pictures below show what the petition is about. The first shows the riverside as it is now, with no public access. The second is an artist's impression of what it could look like, with a public footpath along by the river.   ************************************************** If you'd like to click on the 'Social' tab above, you will find the dates for the Shows this year, at which we will be having our EBRA stall. This is where some of our books and maps are sold and we hope to encourage new members. ************************************************* I have been asked to pass on to you a couple of amendments for the May to August Walks Programme recently sent out: Brenda Chownsmith's tel. no. should read 01753 868669 (her walks are Sundays, 25 May, 15 June & 3 Aug. The other correction relates to the Wayfarers Walks - Mac Gollifer is leading the one in May, as shown, but all the rest are being led by Pera and Gordon Marrs, 01628 629155. ************************************************** |
