Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme
Huntingdon Group July 2017
We shall still be `walking the walks', even in August! There are
9 Wednesday-afternoon/ Friday-morning health walks this
month. The one at 2pm on the 16th is from the Village Hall car
park. There is also a new `Buckden Marina' walk at 2pm on the
9th, from the MARINA car park, but the other 7 walks start else-
where - access details from the website below.
Health walks are of 45 - 80 minutes' duration. You walk at your
own pace but with the added benefits of being in the company
of other walkers plus trained walk leaders.
Weather-proof clothes and sturdy shoes are a must, and so is a
bottle of water, to avoid dehydration. There's usually a cup of
tea/coffee available to enjoy afterwards, if you so wish. Health
walking is a very companionable and healthy experience – your
company would be most welcome.
For further information, please check out
www.huntingdonshire.gov.uk/healthwalks, or feel free to tele-
phone Danielle Sancaster on 01480 387047
MONDAY CLUB
We are a social group of retired ladies who meet fortnightly
at 2.30pm in the Millard Room at Buckden Village Hall.
We enjoy a cup of tea as we chat and participate in a raffle.
Once a month we aim to organise a speaker or activity.
There is no Monday Club in August so the next
meeting will be:
4 September: Talk by the St Neots Fire Service
Why not come and join us? You’d be most welcome! If you
require a lift or any further information please contact Jane
Scott on 811468 or Betty Millard on 810087.
