Dear all

I hope you have been able to get out walking and enjoyed the sunny spring (slightly cold at times) weather. It is good to finally have social walks back up and running, even with restricted numbers for the time being.

This Sunday (9^th)  Simon is leading his wonderful 27-mile Rodent Wriggle, taking in 9 churches along the way. There are a few spaces left for anyone who would like to join, but be prepared as he plans to get a wriggle on.

AGM reminder – On Saturday 26^th June we are holding our AGM at Ashes Farm, Mendlesham with a 12-mile walk followed by refreshments. There will then be a tractor and trailer ride with a talk by Simon Colchester about the farm, landscape and history.

Walks are slowly filling up the calendar, but if you would like to try leading a walk please contact me or our walks secretary, Jane Audsley -   Experienced and new walk leaders welcome.

If you have not planned this it might be a bit late to start considering it, but if you have been waiting until the last minute to enter there is still time! Norfolk & Suffolk has its fair share of entrants, and our Chair, Julian, completed his first 100 on the ‘marshals’ 100 last weekend.
