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.
