Social Activities for 2025/6

 

1. We are pleased to announce that David Hill has agreed to organise our annual dinner in the early New Year. Watch this space as further information becomes available.

2. Tickets for the "Skittles Evening" on November 6th at the Sherwood Ranger are now on sale (£5 to include a light buffet). Tickets will be available on walks and from Brian and Wendy, Allan and Dick.

3.The committee would like to urge members who wish to attend events like the one above to obtain their tickets as early as possible. This gives an early indication that the event is viable and removes worry and stress from the organisers.

4. For most events we prefer to receive payment in cash. If members wish to pay by cheque, can we ask that they include an additional £1 to cover increasing bank charges for the processing of cheques?

​

The committee would like to remind members that social events are the responsibility of the whole membership 

and not simply of the committee, Merv, Mo and Mick. We would therefore welcome offers and suggestions 

from the membership to arrange and manage future events.

Parking difficulties in the Peak District at weekends

From the start of the Autumn/Winter programme leaders will be asked to consider the following strategies for avoiding parking difficulties in the Peak District:

1. Arrange parking in a more remote location away from the known hotspots of Castleton, Ladybower etc.

2. An 8.30am start from Ravenshead with a view to arriving  at the start point by 9.30am.

3. Request a weekday slot in the first three weeks of the month.

4. Encourage efficient car-sharing to reduce the number of vehicles involved.​
