This is the 17th Thursday walk since we started the Thursday group in October 2022
I had some doubts when I started the group
Not least how popular it would be
Three hour walks might be something which folk would prefer to do on their own
However it has proved popular from the start, and we currently have 26 members
Not everyone is available to walk each week
Ten are non residents and only available a few months each year
Despite this we have managed an average of 12 on each walk
This is really good news, because our ideal walk is 12-16
We have also had better than expected member retention
We have restricted total numbers on each walk to 16
Last week we had a reserve list of five
We have a core membership of eight, who walk most weeks
And this week we had four non resident members
This included Barry and Linda, who spend a few weeks here every couple of months.
Plus Robin and Sandra who we had not seen since before the covid restrictions
We are very pleased that in such a short time we have managed to create such a loyal and friendly group
It is in the nature of things that members will come and go
But it is nice that so many return when they can
It has been a very good start and we hope we will continue to enjoy many more wonderful walks with such good friends
