Star of the Week
There was only one possible SOW award and that goes to Colin Saunders who celebrated his 80th birthday this week. Lots of members of both the LDWA and Vanguard Association joined Colin on Tuesday for a walk from Battersea to Canary Wharf (and variations thereof). Records were broken with 50 walkers turning up. More photos next edition. Happy Birthday Colin!!
