10^th September

I will be ‘off grid’ for a couple of weeks so a rather early reminder about the Boghoppers trip to Swainby on the 19^th October. I will be leading the A walk and Christine Snowden will lead the B walk. Please let Jean know if you are coming by Saturday 11^th October.

Hope you all have a great walk this Sunday at Bakewell. John

10^th September

Our next walks on the 28^th September will be taking us back to the Derbyshire Dales with a visit to Bakewell. Our A walk will be led by Alan Yeaman and the B walk will probably be led by one of Mary Naylor’s friends if she is still not fit enough to walk… get well soon Mary!!

The coach will pick up at Sherburn and opposite the Crusader at Garforth. Please support this trip if you can and let Jean know if you are coming by Saturday 20^th September.

Christine Snowden has kindly offered a B walk from Swainby on 19^th October but we still need a B walk leader for the Pocklington trip on the 9^th November.

I still have not received any offers for A or B walks on the 30^th Nov and the location remains undetermined at the moment… offers ASAP John

10^th June.

We are going ahead with our trip to Malham this coming Sunday(15^th June)
There is plenty of room on the coach so it is not too late book a place should any of you find that you can manage to come this Sunday after all.

You will recall that we decided to cancel our last trip on the 18^th May to Flamborough since the numbers were well below our threshold. When we became aware that a significant number of Boghoppers were away on the 8^th June we rescheduled the Malham trip to the 15^th June and regrettably this was a disappointment to some of you who could come on the 8^th and not the 15^th.

As it has turned out our numbers for this coming Sunday are probably not much better than they would have been for the 8^th June and again are below our threshold but rather than have two consecutive cancelled walks we have decided to let this trip go ahead.

We are continuing to struggle with sufficient numbers to break even with the coach. We need something like 30 on the coach and we are currently fortunate to get 20 to 25. There is no simple solution but please be aware that without sufficient support we will either have to cancel trips or run at losses that would soon make it financially impossible to continue as a club.
