Nordic Walks week commencing 31st October, 2016

Hi Walkers,
What a busy but Fun week we’ve had with Half marathons, Pub walks and Socials!
Well done to Paula W, Helen, Kathy T, Tracey B, Denise and Jean H for completing a tough Half Marathon on Thursday in Woburn! Fab effort from all of you.
Our pub walk yesterday was a real treat with awesome views and great company! The yummy lunch was a nice interval before heading back to Barton. Thank to all of you who came along.

GENTLE CLASS TUESDAY
This class will now start from 9am to 9:45am

NEWBIE GRADUATES
We have a few new walkers joining us who I’m sure you’ll all make very welcome as always. They are: Val, Maryanne, Veronica, Carolyn, Sarah Q, Sarah L, Paul, Susan, Andrew and Shayne. We look forward to seeing you all in the classes and if you’re unsure about which class you should attend, just let me know! Have Fun!

DATE FOR YOUR DIARY
I’m organising a 10k and 5k Nordic Walking event on December 3rd at Ampthill Park. Festive Headwear is a must! The 10K will begin at 9:30am and the 5K at 10am. There will be mince Pies and mulled wine at the Hub following the walks along with festive music. I will give you more details later but put the date in your diaries now so you don’t miss it! It should be great fun! Yay!

Hope you all have great walks this week and remember to take in the beautiful Autumn countryside. It’s a wonderful time of year to be outside!

Thanks,
Elaine
