The Secretary position will be vacant from the AGM and the Membership Secretary from the 1 June. Both Ann and Mark are very happy to answer questions about the roles and of course are very happy to support the person who takes them on.

No dogs policy

By | General News

After discussion by both the Committee and the Walks Program Sub-Committee we have decided to implement a ‘no-dogs’ policy. This means that dogs can not accompany us on our scheduled weekly and weekend walks.

The policy has been put in place because of the risk of tripping over them while we are walking.

This has not been an easy decision because of the club’s past history where a dog was one of the reasons for the club starting. We also have had some very well behaved dogs walking with us that have not caused any problems. The club now has over 100 members and with really good numbers attending, it is important that we take every opportunity to ensure members can walk safely.

Please ring Kathy you have any concerns.
