Saturday 30th April - town copse bluebells and garlic
This walk will start at the Ridgeway Car Park nr Warren Farm, Rectory Road, Streatley and will set off at 09:10 to allow for anyone who appears at the Rectory Garden to be ferried up.

To see photos of the bluebells and garlic click here and scroll to the second slideshow.
Although the Saturday 09:00 walk is billed as A/B level, this walk is only three miles in total so as long as you can cope with the incline at the start and climbing over a stile to enter the wood, it's open to anyone.

PACE 3 Peaks Series 2022
Kelly Houghton Writes ...
I am writing to you from local Aylesbury charity Pace. If you are not aware of us, we are a children’s charity that transforms the lives of children and young people with neurodisabilities, such as cerebral palsy. Fundamental to our approach is a belief in every child’s ability to learn and make progress, whatever the physical or sensory challenges they face.
As the Events Manager at the charity, I am always looking for new ways to broaden our network of supporters and new methods of advertising our fundraising events. I therefore wanted to ask whether you could promote our 3 Peaks Series of events with your group please.

ramblers Walking scheme changes
The Ramblers closed Walking for Heath in January 2022.
The transition to Ramblers Wellbeing Walks is planned to be complete by Spring 2022 when there will be an official public launch.
As part of the change Ramblers require a registration fee which South & Vale District Council have agreed to pay.
None of this will affect our walking group in any way. Only some of the administration system will change.
It will take some time for all the links to be changed from WfH to RWW, so please bear with us while that happens.
GGW will continue in the way that we like it whatever happens.

Anya's last Health walk
Sue Fung with Anya and the 7th March Saturday group. Anya is a now fully accredited hearing dog and left Sue's care on 16th March 2020 to become the ears for a male primary school teacher in Wiltshire.
Leaders
We have have a pool of around 35 trained leaders. However not all are 'active' as some are 'shielding' or 'indisposed' for various reasons. We are always on the lookout for more leaders, or back up leaders (who do not need formal training to make a difference). Get in touch with Bernard if you would like to find out more about being a leader.
There is no need for regular commitment or to be a main leader, you will be just as welcome to become a back up leader.
