The Retford Step 2 It Walking Group committee would like to report that they have had another successful year and they now have over 300 local people registered to walk with the group. They have provided approximately 230 walks through the year for local residents to enjoy.
The committee offers two walks under the nationally recognised Walking for Health scheme and two more longer walks for the more adventurous. All walks start promptly at 10.00am from Retford Cricket Club and are run each Tuesday throughout the year.
Wednesday evening walks also take place during the summer months. This spring they will begin on 11th April, setting off at 6.30pm, from the Babworth Road Sports and Social Club.
All walks are led by leaders who have been trained under the Walking for Health accredited training scheme. They are all free to join. The committee also organises other social events through the year and they look forward to people attending their coach trips and festive lunch, as these were a great success again in 2017.
The group would not be able to offer these walks without the generous support from the committees of both the Retford Cricket Club and Babworth Road Sports and Social Club, and so thanks go out to them. The committee would also like to thank all our volunteers who make it possible for these walks and social events to happen.
If you would like to join one of these walks or just want further information please contact the Walking for Health Scheme Co-ordinator, Mick Redfearn, on 07768 467548 or 01777 719286.
