We have no further details of the Autumn 1967 programme. Could this be because the club's activities were suspended from this date due to the outbreak of Foot and Mouth disease which I know was at its worst at this time? If you were in the club in 1967 and remember the details I would be grateful to be enlightened. I had just arrived in London in early September and did not discover the St Francis of Assisi Catholic Ramblers' Club until five years later. Tony Finnegan. E mail tony@tfinnegan.me.uk.
