SHEFFIELD VISUALLY IMPAIRED WALKING GROUP

To be held at SRSB Mappin Street 10am to 12 noon. This is for new guides and also for any guides who would like to have a re-fresher as some of our guides have already done so.

Alison Anthony, a senior Re-hab officer at Howden House will be conducting the training. Alison has had many, many years training how to guide and also teaching long cane training.

Please do not miss this opportunity as it is only undertaken once per year as we get more new guides.

Please contact Gail; email gail.fagan@guidemail.co.uk.
For guides who have already let me know no need to email again.

It is very sad our former treasurer Stan Wainwright died recently.

Stan was our treasurer for many years doing a brilliant job keeping meticulous records even when it was clear his health was suffering. We saw his decline over the last year but he always came to our Committee Meeting hardly ever missing.

Stan walked with us in the beginning and attempted a few challenges with our group. He was also a keen Table Tennis player before his illness which he never spoke about.

Our commiserations to his family and friends.

If you would like to put your name forward for the above please contact Eileen. Her contact details are available on the contact page.

This involves once per year finding walk leaders for the Wednesday and Sunday walks for the next year. You do not have to know about walks as this is the responsibility of the walk leader for their particular walk.

If you would like to give it a go please contact Eileen.
