- Kiddies' Walk
The Kiddies' Walk was a new venture started at Tittesworth on 20 August 2006 organised by Margaret Bailey.
This was designed for children and grandchildren of members and included fun and games after the walk, despite the weather.
The photograph to the right shows participants sheltering from the rain at Tittesworth.
On 10 June 2007 the event was held at Consall Country Park in the Churnet Valley, with a gentle walk down the valley to a small shallow pond, where the kids (and others) were introduced to pond dipping and bark rubbing. A quiz was completed as the outing continued through the upper park and then it was time for lunch.
Plans are for this to feature regularly in the programme in the future.

Always popular, these dances are normally held at a village hall to a live band or taped music with a 'caller' to guide you through the steps. Members bring their own drinks and a plate of food to put on the communal buffet table. A great night out! ![]()

We have a number of meals out as club events through the year. Some are arranged as part of walks, either at the end or at mid-day. Others take place as stand alone events in the evening and free buffets are arranged for some social events. The photograph to the right was taken at the BBQ at Tickhill in July 2004
