NEE MEMBERS
The Club has gained a number of new members who are friends of
existing members. If you have friends who are interested in walking perhaps you could tell them about the Club. Many new enquiries have come about through the Club being advertised in Catholic Parish Newsletters. If your parish has a Newsletter, perhaps you could put in a feature about the Club. It costs nothing and could be a source of many new members.
THANKS AND CONGRATULATIONS
Phil Carolan wishes to thank those Club members who came to her assistance when she injured her arm on a recent ramble.
Congratulations to Bill Mearns who recently got married. Our thanks also go to him for all the help he gave when on the Committee.
