Nordic Walks week commencing 28th November, 2016

Hi Nordic Walkers,

SATURDAY FESTIVE WALK – HUB CAFE – £5
This coming Saturday is our Festive Walk Event which this year is both 5k and 10K.  For those of you who usually walk on a Saturday at 10am, this is the same distance we usually do. The route is mostly flat too so you can have uninterrupted chats!  We are hoping to have a Cake Sale too at the Hub to raise funds for the Tramper Scooter Fund.  There will be complimentary mince pies (plus Gluten free options) and Mulled wine afterwards.

As this is a Festive fun Walk and a fundraiser for the Scooter, Family and Friends are welcome too at £5 per person, £2 for children under 12 and this goes directly to the Tramper Fund.  Festive head wear encouraged but optional.

Please note the walks this Saturday are starting from the Hub car park and as this can get busy, it is suggested you park at the usual West car park and walk up; so please give yourself enough time to get there before the walk.

Saturday Walk Details:
9:30am – 10k Starts
9:45am – 5K for Gentle Walkers Starts
10am – 5K for Gentle Plus & Moderate Walkers Starts

Cake Donations:
Cake/cookie donations for our cake stall are needed for Saturday, so if anyone can bake up a super treat for this event, I would be most grateful.  Your cake sales in the past are now legendary and it’s no secret, our Nordic Walkers ARE the BEST BAKERS in the country!  I should know, I’m a professional cake taster and expert!

NORDIC WALKING CLASS COSTS:
All evening classes – £5
Moderate & Gentle Plus – £5 or £4 if you have your own Poles
