Walk Leaders 2027
Maryline our new walk coordinator, will soon be compiling a list of walk leaders for 2027. It would be helpful if potential walk leaders could email Maryline (maryline.tergella@gmail.com), ensuring you could lead a walk on your preferred month.
Also David Cadet is also requiring walk leaders for the Tuesday walks in 2027.
Please let him know if you can help
(07554 143262 or

On behalf of the SVIWG I would like to thank Eileen for her efforts as a walk coordinator for many years.
Coach Ramble Cancelled
Unfortunately, we have had to cancel the Coach ramble due to Anne Batty's recent heart surgery. Ann instigated this walk for us and was very keen to take our group on this walk. Hopefully we can do it next year as we did not think it was fair to do this walk without her. Mike Wilson has kindly volunteered to do a Wednesday walk for us at short notice so thank you Mike!
