4 January 2021 - Important
Message
Following the Prime Minister's latest announcement
on the national lockdown, due to Covid19 precautions, all
walks, including the limited programme for members only,
have now been cancelled until further notice.
10 December 2020 - Chairman's Update
At last we have reason to believe that there
is now a glimmer of light at the end of a very long tunnel.
The start of the innoculation programme to combat COVID19
gives us hope that eventually we will be able to resume
our walks without restrictions. Our bubble and Thursday
walks are proving popular, ensuring that members can keep
in touch and enjoy each other's company in the fresh air.
I hope that you can enjoy the Christmas period and, with
the promise of a better and healthy New Year, we have something
positive to look forward to in 2021.

March 2020 - Dovedale and Scotland holidays rescheduled
to 2021
A message from the holiday organiser:
INFORMATION REGARDING HOLIDAY BOOKINGS
FOR DOVEDALE
HF have been keeping me up to date with the
situation regarding holiday bookings that have been cancelled
due to Coronavirus.
They are not making refunds but are offering
credits.
So that members are not out of pocket, the
Dovedale weekend that should have taken place on Friday
20th March for 3 nights has now been transferred to:
Friday 15th October 2021 for 3 nights
The same guest list will stand, but they understand
that not everyone on the guest list will be available to
go within the new dates.
In this case so that members don't lose money,
we hope to arrange for anyone that can't go to swap with
a member that can go. The new member taking someone else's
place would reimburse the original member the full cost.
The total cost of this weekend was £240 per person.
This is the best solution that we can manage
at this moment in time.
If any of this information changes we will
let you know via this website.
Stay safe.
Sue, Paul, Martin & Alan S
INFORMATION REGARDING THE CAIRNGORM TRAVEL
HOLIDAY BOOKING TO KINGUSSIE, SCOTLAND
The weeks holiday to Kingussie starting on
Thursday 28th May 2020 has been cancelled due to the Coronavirus
situation.
Travel companies are not refunding but giving
holiday credits.
This holiday has now been transferred to the
same dates in 2021 at the 2020 price per person.
New date Friday 28th May 2021 for 7 nights
The same guest list will go forward to next
year, but they understand that not everyone on the guest
list will be available to go within the new dates. In this
case, so that members don't lose money, we hope to arrange
for anyone that can't go to swap
with a member who can go. The new member taking someone
else's place would reimburse the original member the £50
deposit.
The total cost of the weeks holiday was £395 pp with
a single room supplement of £56 for the week.
Martin managed to withdraw the balance payment
before the due date.
He will be refunding the balances to all members
by bank transfer where possible, failing that by cheque.
He will get in touch by email. It may take him some time
to complete the process.
Thank you for your patience in these difficult
times.
Stay safe.
Sue, Paul, Martin & Alan S
