  • We have been awarded £3,500 from the Goole Field Windfarm Community Fund. This is very welcome and means that our club will be able to continue into next year and beyond.
  • Our last walk was on Sunday 2nd November along the Leeds Liverpool Canal and the River Aire. The morning walk of just over 8.5 miles started and ended near Bramley with  lunchtime refreshment at The Abbey Inn. The coach then took us 7 miles to Saltaire where we walked nearly 3 miles on a different section of the canal and river. The weather was good despite it raining when we first boarded the coach and the autumn colours were beautiful. It was another great day out with the club.
  • Our next walk is our Christmas walk at which we will be celebrating the 60 years that our club has been running. The walk will be the 8 mile Pilgrimage of Grace Heritage Trail from Warter to Pocklington. The Christmas and celebratory meal will be a Christmas carvery at The Feathers, Pocklington, where we have been for the last few Christmases. To celebrate the achievement of the last 60 years and to thank our members for their support, members will have their meal paid for. Non-members are welcome to attend but will pay for their meal, (carvery and dessert) at a cost of £20. It is anticipated that demand will be high so, early booking is advised to secure your place. Booking opening shortly; it will be closing a week earlier than usual on Wednesday 26th November, so that we can inform the restaurant of our numbers.
