Mid-length Walking Group

by WebmasterMedium WalksPosted on Comments are Disabled

We had a good Zoom Meeting on Monday; it’s always great to ‘see’ everyone’s faces. We can’t wait to see people in real life again but for now, this is the best we can do.

A big thank you to Greg and Angela for compiling and presenting a 15 question general knowledge quiz. It was very difficult but no-one else knows your score!! Congratulations to Chris West, this month’s winner; she impressed us all by scoring over 10!

It was good to hear where people had been walking and before you knew it the 40 minutes had gone. We don’t normally walk as a group in December but those present wanted to meet on Zoom again on December 21st.

I hope that you are all well and managing to get out for a few strolls.

Best Wishes
Sue

Our meeting in November went well and we continued with the Ma France course revising directions and places in France; also completing a crossword on French place names. It is great to see many of you zooming but there is always room for more!

Our next meeting of Zoom will be on Thursday 10th December at 10.30 am when we shall continue with Ma France and also play the guess what? xmas items the group are preparing to share. On the 10th December also at 7.00 pm we are having a Zoom drinks and nibbles session for an hour with a game so we can wish each other a happy Christmas. Sadly, you will have to provide your own drinks etc on this occasion!

If you are not into Zooming or are unable to join us, we still wish you and yours a happy and safe Christmastime. We hope we can meet some time during 2021, but we shall have to see how things work out.

Love Liz and Ann xx

Weekenders’ Group

We had a couple of informal garden meet ups but the weather is now making it more difficult. However, our members are going for walks around the local area, including the Misk Hills and keeping in contact with one another, offering support and laughs, both by phone and by the newsletter. I saw this on line and thought it was doing its best to be uplifting!
