Nordic Walking week commencing 6th March, 2017

Hi Nordic Walkers,

After moving from Gentle Plus to Moderate groups this past week, many of you really stepped it up and worked especially hard, so a BIG well done to you.  If you’re unsure about which class to attend, please let me know.  You can also do half a class in Moderate and the other half in Gentle Plus; so there are options for everyone.  Fab stuff!

NEW ROWNEY WARREN WALK EVERY WEDNESDAY12pm – £5
Our new walk location is such a wonderful place to walk, with slight undulations it is suitable for both Gentle Plus and Moderate walkers.  Come along and try this new walk, with optional tea shop stop afterwards.

NEW BEGINNER TECHNIQUE COURSE – 25th March, 201711am
I will be doing another Beginners course starting on Saturday 25th March at 11am

in the West Car Park.  If you know anyone that would be interested in learning the Nordic Walking Technique, please have them email me. Many thanks.

POP UP PADDY WALK – FRIDAY 17th March, 201711am – ROWNEY WARREN – £5
This walk will be at Rowney Warren and is 3 miles.  As this is St Patrick’s Day you should wear something green!  Afterwards we will be having lunch at The Black Horse in Ireland (near the walk!) Check out the lunch menu here: https://blackhorseireland.com/
If you’d like to come along, please let me know with your menu choices by Saturday 11th March. Thanks.

CHARITY CROCUS WALK – 21st April, 201710am
This Charity walk is on Friday 21st April at 10am in Bolnhurst.(MK44 2EN).  It is either 2.5 or 5miles long and there is a suggested donation of £10 per person which includes Coffee, maps & lunch.  This walk is raising funds for 2 charities: Bedford Day Care Hospice and Breast Cancer UK.  If you would like to take part, please let Caron or I know.  Thanks.

SIMPSON’S LONDON LUNCH
For those signed up to go to Simpson’s this coming Friday, we are looking to meet at Flitwick Station at 9:45am so it will give us time to sort out the train tickets.  The train we’re looking to get will be 10:04am or you can go for the 10:20am.  If you’re making your own way there just make sure you are at Simpson’s by 12:30pm as they are strict on times.  Any questions, just let Caron know. Thanks.
