Social Sub-committee
We held a lively Barn Dance on 20th September as part of our annual programme of events.
Over 70 members enjoyed trying to follow the instructions for the dance sequences helpfully provided by Emma who was our music provider and dance caller for the evening.
Under Starters Orders
and off they go.
It was an active evening and the dancers enjoyed a deserved mid way break for top quality pie, peas, mash and gravy provided and served by Barlow’s Butchers.
Our appreciation and thanks to Emma , Barlows and to the duty staff at JGC.

Short Walks
Our walk on 19th September started from the car park in Newstead Village which is near the Annesley and Newstead Country Park.
We walked between the lakes in the park to eventually reach the point where the River Leen flows into the Newstead Abbey top lake. We paused by the Folly Fort which is midway down the lake.
Several intrepid walkers climbed the stone steps onto the ramparts to gain excellent views of the Abbey grounds and buildings.
The next stop was the café for a short drinks break before we returned by the minor road, pausing by the waterfall for a group photo on our way back to the car park.
17th October Walk
We are starting from the public car park opposite the Ferry Boat in Stoke Bardolph.
The walk is along the River Trent to the weir and then onto Netherfield Lagoons.
It is an easy route with no stiles. Details will be sent out to group members.
