Dear Friend,

I am pleased to let you know that the Galloway's Society for the Blind Walking Group will once again be going out on a number of walks over the next five months. The walks will be led by by one of our volunteers, Catherine Dale, the first of which will be held on Saturday, 12th May.

Members are requested to arrive at the starting point for each of the walks at 12:45pm so that the Walking Group can leave at 1:00pm prompt. None of the walks are too far or too difficult, ranging in distance from approximately 2 to 3 miles. However it is important to have a waterproof coat and comfortable footwear.

Should you need any further information, please contact me at the above address or by telephoning Morecambe 414846.

Wishing you some good walks together with, hopefully, warm and sunny weather.

Yours sincerely, Tony Kimpton, Development Worker
