NOTICES
1) The Capital Challenge Entries are open!! SiEntries - The 7th Capital Challenge here
2) Last weeks Property of the Week was identified by a group member as the house she lived in as a child (apparently with large spiders too). It's a small world.
3) London Group AGM 22nd February 2023 at 18.30 The venue is the Meeting Room, Crown Court Church, Russell St, London WC2B 5EZ. More information nearer the date but you will have received an email requesting nominations and to consider standing for vacant committee posts.
4) Walk Leaders If you fancy leading a walk this year, we aim to provide two walks per week: a short midweek walk, 7-ish miles, usually on a Wednesday evening, and a longer weekend walk of 20+ miles. It would be great to add a few new leaders to our current list of hard-working leaders. If you are interested or want more information, please contact Jean on london.walks@ldwa.org.uk. Contacting Jean will not commit you to providing a walk.
