16 September 2022 - Train Walk Update
for Saturday 24 September
The moderate/strenuous Marsden Circular
walk will now be from the 0953 Huddersfield to Manchester
Piccadilly train. This is due to a change in the rail
timetable since our train walks leaflet went to print.

and Navigation Course on Sunday 18 September
A reminder of this event for members, which

BD23 2JE (opposite Wetherspoons) from 1.30 for 2.00 pm.
If you intend to come and haven't already
done so, please let Diane Taylor know.
There will be a Powerpoint presentation
and an opportunity to practice various navigation skills.
If you have a copy of the OL2 map and a compass, please
bring them along (spares will be available).
Refreshments will be provided.
13 September 2022
Please send any digital photos for inclusion
in the "film show" at our Annual General Meeting
in November to Martyn Benton as soon as possible, but no
later than 15 October 2022. Currently there are insufficient
photos to make the "film show" viable, so unless
further contributions are received, a show may not be provided.
Photos can be sent by email, on a CD or on a portable computer
memory stick.
9 September 2022 - Train Walks Update for
Saturday 17 September
The planned industrial action on the railways
