New Members A very warm welcome to new members Robin Hickson, Caroline Parkhouse and Alan & Jane Curtis (Primary) and Michelle Owen and Eric Holbrook (Associate) - we look forward to meeting you on one of our group walks or challenge events.
You may know that, for the last ten months or so, Dee has been welcoming new members with a phone call and email giving more information about the group. Her feedback about why people join BBN has been interesting. She comments Two of last week’s new members did their first challenge event, the Hannington Hike, on Sunday and joined because they really enjoyed it and both said how friendly everybody was. So well done to Alan for organising a great event and to all the HH marshals for making the day enjoyable for the participants. And a huge thank you to Dee for the friendly welcome and advice she gives all our new members.

Another wet day! Why didn’t the light rain hit the target? It just mist. When does it rain money? When there’s a change in the weather. Why were the rain and the lightning bolt in the news? Are you sure you really want to know? It’s shocking! How did the skeleton know it was going to rain? He could feel it in his bones. Why do sailors eat shellfish when rain is forecast? It’s the clam before the storm. Why do you have to act quickly during a flood? Because it’s an emergent sea. What do you call a parrot with an umbrella on a rainy day? Polly unsaturated.
