OUT AND ABOUT

is becoming a big section of our magazine.

This is because our three major outings are very popular and well attended:

NATURE WALK, COMMUNITY WALKS AND MID-WEEK OUTINGS

We need images from you if this section is to develop so, if you have images you would like to see here, let us have one or two and a few words about your experience to go with them.
