10 Buckden Roundabout July2020 For Your Diary Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme May 2020 Until the government allows certain groups, which includes Health Walk groups, to reconvene, the council has suspended the Health Walk scheme, so also the role of health walk leader, whilst the Coronavirus (COVID - 19) illness is still rampant. Thus, the programme in the brochure no longer applies until further notice; should walkers wish to walk any the walks on their own, it will be entirely at their own risk. Due to the nature of the scheme and the council's decision to suspend it, there can unfortunately be no approved alternative activities in its name. However, outside the Health Walk scheme, walkers (but not in groups) can take unlimited daily exercise -- provided strict gov- ernment restrictions are observed as outlined by GOV.UK m essages - Coronavirus (COVID - 19):guidance. Any changes to the situation will be reported as soon as possi- ble in subsequent issues. MONDAY CLUB We are a social group of ladies who meet fortnightly at 2.30pm in the Millard Suite at Buckden Village Hall. At each meeting we either have a guest speaker or par- ticipate in an activity of our own. We then enjoy a cup of tea and biscuits, and participate in a raffle. As you will already know, all Monday Club meetings have unfortunately had to be suspended for the im- mediate future. Betty and I send you all our best wishes and hope it won ’ t be too long before we see you all again.
