This month our walks are based on Chipping, Lancashire. The coach will leave school as usual at 8.00 am prompt. In view of the short distance from Formby the coach will travel directly to Chipping without a stop. There are toilets available in Chipping where all the walks start. At the end of the day’s walks there are plenty of opportunities for refreshment in Chipping. As well as the Sun Inn, leaders have also done a recce of both tea rooms (the things we have to do!) Brabins Tea Rooms are at the east end of the main street and the Cobbled Corner Café is near the car park. We plan to leave at 5.30 pm to be back in Formby about 7.30 pm
The cost of travel will be £10.00 for members, £13.00 for non-members and £5.00 for Leaders, children and students in full time education. Please make your cheque payable to Range Walking Club and ensure it is signed as it is inconvenient for the Treasurer to chase up such omissions.
Please send in your return to the Treasurer before 7th May; places will be booked on the coach by the treasurer on a first come first served basis.
Cancellations: if you need to cancel or make a late booking, please contact the Treasurer on 01704 809287 who will endeavour to substitute your booking from the waiting list. If you cancel after 7th May and it is not possible to fill your place on the coach, regrettably, we will not be able to give you a refund as coaches will have been booked on initial returns.
Club Weekend 2015: 5th-7th June St David’s Pembrokeshire
I confirm that we will meet, to discuss the walks, at The Grove Hotel, High Street, St David’s SA62 6SB 01437 720341 on Friday 5th June at 9pm. Most people are travelling down on the Friday, since it is a long drive, we are not planning to do an organised walk on the Friday. However, if anybody wants to do a short walk on the Friday afternoon please let me know. I hope everybody has a good journey to St David’s.
Club AGM Monday 13th July
The Club AGM will be held on Monday 13th July at Range High School. Membership cards will be issued from 7pm onwards and the meeting will commence at 7.30pm. The AGM papers will be circulated nearer the time.
