GILLINGHAM WALKERS
now part of Gillingham Walkers are Welcome
Skittles, as before, to be held at the Football club. 2pm for 2.30 start. £2 per person to include tea /coffee and biscuits. Book in by Monday 26th February please, money to Doreen or Jill.
We finish the last Monday walk of each month at a Gillingham coffee shop for refreshments.
Each summer, we usually finish one of our Monday walks at a local venue for a celebratory afternoon tea. This year we again went to the Wine Bar. (See News items for more details of 2014, 2015 and 2016 teas, and Photo Gallery.)
We generally hold an annual Christmas meal in December. See News page item for a report of 2017's lunch which was held at the Coppleridge Inn.
This year our social events have settled into a fairly regular pattern with several skittles afternoons during the year, a spring walk in Duncliffe Woods (hopefully to see bluebells), a boules morning during early summer, an afternoon tea during August/September and a Christmas meal.
Our new Social Team have hit the ground running and organised an afternoon tea, trips to the theatre, two skittles afternoons, a picnic lunch, and a walk in East Knoyle followed by tea and cake.
Past trips have included visits to the theatre, Christchurch, the Hawk Conservancy, Monkey World, Portland Bill, the Jubilee River Pageant, Durlston Country Park and Osmington Mills, to name but a few.
Return trips to the Classical Spectacular extravaganza at the Albert Hall in November of several years have been a great success.
