Status:Active, open to new members

When: Monthly on Wednesday afternoons 2:00 pm-4:00 pm
3rd Wednesday
Venue: Location Varies

The Strolling Groups are aimed at those members who would like to get out and about in the fresh air, but are not able to go too far or too quickly.

Due to lockdown, we were unable to stroll much in 2020, but this year we have managed to do some walks, and we look forward to continuing this into the new year.

Members of all abilities are welcome to join us, including those who use a mobility scooter. You will walk only as far or as quickly as you like. There will be circular walks of varying distance over very easy terrain, and members can stroll along at their own pace or just sit on a bench and enjoy the fresh air if that’s all they want to do. No-one will be on their own. We will always meet back at the starting point, where we can get refreshments and have a friendly chat.

So, whatever your ability, if you fancy some fresh air and friendly chat, please contact the leader to find out where our next meet up will be.

There are 2 groups and you can belong to either or both. We may well join up sometimes if numbers are low, so days and times may change according to circumstances.


16 September 2026

The 1st strolling group went to Melton country park. It was a pleasant stroll, weather comfortably warm with only a 2 minute shower. 

The purpose of visiting the CP was to see the new bridge.  It's so much sturdier than the old bridge and hopefully should last a good many years. 

Afterwards we went to The Hanger for refreshments,  thereby supporting a very worthy charity which we hope will never actually be needed by any members of our families or ourselves.
