What a great time we had Stargazing with Ken. The weather couldn't have been better, clear skies and very little wind. And the hot chocolate went down a treat. THANK YOU KEN, a wonderful evening

Sally & Ken are offering two (yes two) walking holidays for our members in 2026. Norfolk and Shropshire Hills. BOTH HOLIDAYS ARE NOW FULLY BOOKED but you will find many more on walking.im  

We had the Gaiety Theatre all to ourselves for a brilliant tour of all areas from the projection room of the Cinema (yes there used to be a Cinema) high up in the 'gods' to see the workings of the unique 'Corsican' trap door under the stage. Well worth a visit, thank you guys!  

The minutes of the 2026 AGM are now available on the members page.

CONGRATULATIONS to the eleven members who successfully completed the St. John Ambulance First Aid Course. Everyone enjoyed the course which was presented with plenty of humour.  We now have twenty-two qualified First Aiders in the club.  And a big Thank You to Ian, the First Aid instructor,  for making the course so interesting

Despite our best efforts of safety, being careful and looking out for each other, unfortunately on rare occasions, accidents and incidents do happen when we are all out walking. In an emergency, a very quick dynamic assessment will deduce if we need to call the emergency services  here on the island that will connect us to the emergency joint control room and one of the vital initial pieces of information they require is ‘ What’s your location?’ A number questions now confront us and the quicker we reply with this information, the quicker the correct emergency services can be dispatched.Postcodes, road names, house numbers and a gird reference are all valid options, especially the latter - if the incident is in a remote location but new options of digital applications are now available and are used here on the island by our first response emergency teams.
