We are a social group of retired ladies who meet

fortnightly at 2.30pm in the Millard Room at Buck-

We enjoy a cup of tea as we chat and participate in

a raffle. Once a month we aim to organise a speak-

er or activity.

Our meetings for

April 2016

will be:



Monday 11th

: Tea, chat and quiz (in the

Lincoln room)

Why not come and join us? You’d be most wel-

come! If you require a lift or any further information

please contact Jane Scott on 811468 or Betty Mil-

Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme

Huntingdon Group March 2016

Have you seen a special article about this scheme in

this issue? If not, please read it (p12), it might "grab"

you!? New walkers are always welcome to join us for

about an hour, whenever it suits, for the benefit of

health, and happiness too, dare I say?

Choose from nine walks in April: two are new, and

one starts/finishes at the Village Hall Car Park (with

optional refreshments there afterwards). This is the

'Buckden Ramble' on Friday the 1st, at 9.50 for a

10am start. If you come, you will be given our bro-

chure, which features health walks up to the end of

August. Brochures are also available at the hall and

the library.

For more information, please contact
