SHEFFIELD VISUALLY IMPAIRED WALKING GROUP

I am sorry to tell you about the death of Eric Andrews.

Eric was a former Chair of our group and really pushed boundaries within our group with regards to fundraising.

He arranged a trip to Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, Tandem cycling around the Manchester Velodrome.
Also Gliding as a fun day out for our group.

When he no longer was able to partake in our walks Eric and Marcia always attended our social events.

His working life was spent in the Merchant navy and later as a draughtsman designing rooms at the Hallamshire hospital.

We send our condolences to his family also his friends from our group.

Mike Jackson is once again opening his garden on Saturday 30th May, 2 to 5pm.
9 Newfield Crescent, Dore, Sheffield.

Many of you will remember the fantastic day we had last year celebrating our 25th anniversary of the SVIWG.

Free entrance refreshments provided, with donations gratefully received going to Children's Air Ambulance, a very worthwhile cause.

It is a wonderful opportunity for our members to visit again if they did not feel they had a good look around last year.

Members must arrange their own transport.

Please see this link to the TNF Sounds website where the interview is there to be listened to.

They did Mike Jackson a good justice given the recording wasn't great so they couldn't use it.

Hi everyone,

You may be aware that we have been working on new Health and Safety Documentation. The preparation of the documentation has been completed by David Guile. The aim is to provide a complete and current framework to make our walks safe and to reduce the risks of accidents and the possibility of injury for everyone.

The new Health and Safety Documentation, prepared specifically for SVIWG, will replace the documents that were provided up until now. A copy of the new documentation is available from the documents page, and we will commence implementation in the near future.

It is important that you please read through everything and familiarise yourself with the contents at your convenience.
Any questions or feedback are of course welcome.

It would be extremely helpful if you could please confirm that you have read the documents once you have completed that.
Please inform Sue Hill by email or message.
