ROBIN HOOD WAY ASSOCIATION

2009 SOCIAL PROGRAMME

We kick off the new year on Sunday, 22nd February with Diana (not literally), and her lovely walk from the car park on Newgate Street, Bingham (SK703399) at 10.00 a.m. This is a walk along the Trent Valley Way and East Bridgford taking in an old Roman road. There will be the opportunity to follow this walk with a carvery lunch. 

The second walk has changed somewhat! We were to have a quiz afternoon but unfortunately Newark Ramblers had the same idea, so we shall have our quiz later in the year and on offer is a refreshing stroll following the Maun and the Meaden rivers near to Walesby. This will be on the Sunday - 15th March, starting at 10.30 a.m. please bring along your packed lunch
