Nordic Walks week commencing 5th December, 2016

Hello Walkers,
Well, what a great morning we had on Saturday! I can’t thank you enough for coming to our Festive 10k & 5K.Walk. To see so many of you donning your Christmas head gear was awesome. I have to thank the bakers among you and your wives who made THE most amazing cakes for our event. We raised over £100 on the day just from the cakes!

Thanks to all of your kind donations and support yesterday, Ampthill Town Council told me with what we donated on the day, it took the tally for the Tramper Scooter fund to over £6500 and they are now able to afford the Scooter for the Park! So a very BIG THANK YOU to all of you who have supported this cause and WELL DONE!

I have to thank my Helpers yesterday too because without them I wouldn’t be able to do these events (or function in general!). Gordon as ever was a Superstar and put a alot of time into helping make the day a success. Sheelagh (Wheels) is always there to lend a hand and keep me sane (tough job!). Jenny and Andrew were brilliant as Marshalls and again, couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks so much.

THIS WEEK

*CRANFIELD WALK IS AT THE EARLIER TIME OF 9:30AM TOMORROW*

CHRISTMAS LUNCH – THE CHEQUERS – Monday 5th – 12pm
Our lunch begins at 12pm at The Chequers in Westoning. It would be very helpful if you could have the correct change for your lunch. Really looking forward to it! Nom Nom!

JUNE’S ANNUAL CRAFT FAIR – Thursday 8th – 11am
It’s that time of year again where June opens up her home to us for her Craft Fair. It is a lovely little event where you can pick up hand made gifts for your friends and family. She also will have coffee/tea and cakes for £1.50. Our Thursday walk will start just a minute’s walk from her house in Biddenham so we can stroll down there after the walk.

CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL CRANFIELD – Thursday 8th – 1:30pm
This year our Cranfield walkers are decorating a Tree for the Festival with a Nordic Walking Theme. Afterwards we can grab a quick cuppa at Oso’s.
