Walking Group D

Popular member of Walking Groups D, P and Dippers Too, Liz Shuker, married Ray Ranson, at Dore Church on July 16th. 
Many of her U3A friends were there to enjoy the happy occasion and later joined the newly-weds and family for a chat, drink and piece of wedding cake at the home of Liz's brother and sister in law.
We all wish Liz and Ray a wonderful life together.

D Group Programme Jan to March 2012

Co-ordinator:  Jan Taylor   0114 2302511  lesleyjan@btinternet.com

All walks to start at 10 a.m. unless marked to the contrary

• Many thanks to those who have submitted walks; we have 2 walks without a leader so if you feel you could lead either please let Jan know as soon as possible.
• The next Walks Planning Meeting will be the end of February for the April - June period.  Your own walks for this Spring/Summer time will be welcome so please submit to David.  A form is included with your membership renewal.

Mobile Phones:

• It would seem to be very sensible for the leader/s to have access to a mobile phone.

NB Weather Conditions

If you are in ANY doubt about the weather please make it YOUR responsibility to ring the leader about cancellation or alternative walk/venue.  If you are leading a walk and need advice, please ring David.  We need to be safe!  Thanks.
