A big thankyou to Steve Lawrence for taking the lead on the January walk. This was a lovely 7 mile walk around Ravenshead and Newstead Abbey, in glorious sunny weather.
The February walk will be led by John Tedstone and Gary and Tina Holmes. It will be a City of Nottingham walk, starting from the Forest Tram stop. More details will be sent to the group on email.
Our first meeting this year will be on February 15th 2022 at St Peter and St Paul’s Church Hall on Ruffs Drive, 2-4.00 pm.
There is a car park at the back of the hall and parking on Ruffs Drive. If you are coming by bus you need the blue Connect, which stops just down the road from the church and hall. Below is the calendar for this year as far as we have arranged. See you all soon.

December No Meeting
This month in view of the rising Covid cases and having some vulnerable members of the group, we decided to Zoom meet. Sadly, not everyone made it on, but those who did all shared very well their Christmas events and their hopes and resolutions for the new year in French. Well done all!
We are very much hoping that the February meeting on Thursday 10th at 10.30 am in the John Godber Centre Byron suite will be an in-person one, but we will review this nearer the date and email all the group involved.
We are sad to be losing Carol and David Insley in the coming weeks as they are moving to new pastures. We wish them Bon Voyage and we shall miss them.
New members are welcome and we hope that 2022 improves for us all!
Best wishes,
Ann & Liz x
