We would like to congratulate the following who recently got married -
Teresa Knockles and Stafan Gatward (1 May 1982) and Pat Crouch and Tony Schueber - weish them all a long life of happiness together.
We would Ijke to see a few more ramble leaders for the next list. This will make life a little bit easier for Maurice who is having a difficult time finding leaders.
The Tea room at Chalfont St Giles has re-opened - cream teas and, cakes are just as good as ever.
We extend a warm welcome ,to Michael O'Malley who has recently joined our Club and we hope to see him out' on many more rambles in the future.
