Latest News - Updated Monday 23rd January 2012

First of all I would like to thank all involved in making yesterdays walk from the Shoulder of Mutton such a great success.  We had 108 walkers out on this walk, by far the largest number of walkers on a regular Sunday event for many years.  Thanks to Bob and Carol for their organisation, Steve (the landlord of the Shoulder of Mutton) for the welcome (and the coffee) along with many of his regulars for spreading the word and also joining us on this event - hopefully some of you will join us again on future events and perhaps become members.  Finally thanks to the media for helping us publicise this event, including my "60 second sell" spot on the Radio Northampton breakfast show on 9th January.

The next Sunday event wil be from the White Horse at Tilbrook on 29th January.  The usual rules apply - start time is around 10.00 but please do not arrive before 09.30 as neither the walk leaders nor the venue will be ready for you - stay in bed that extra half hour instead - you know it makes sense!

The next coach trip will take place on 11th March leaving from outside the Railway Club at Broad Green at 08.00. The booking list will open on Sunday 29th January, and will be available at the check in desk at the White Horse walk above.

Merchandise News.  Club merchandise can now be requested by email via this site or by telephone to Andrew Whitehead.  Follow this link to see what is available.  Also be aware there are a very small number of 30th anniversary polo shirts (black with gold club logo) available from Andrew. Remember this is a limited edition item and once these last few are sold there will be no more produced.

Valley and Views 2012.  Details of this coming event are now available on this website - just follow the link above.  The event will be held on Sunday 22nd April 2012 and application forms can be downloaded from the linked page above.

Important - due to a couple of incidents earlier this year we would request that all walkers provide an emergency telephone number, and also if you are carrying a mobile while you walk please provide this number as well.  Please write these on the front of your walk cards - the 2012 cards have been printed with spaces for these details.
