Wanderers Walk 15 Jan CANCELLED!!!

Now the motto of our Wanderers is that 'We walk in all weathers', but rumour has it that rain has put people off. This is not Queensland folks!

We are expecting a better turnout for 12 Feb. As the Scots would say, there is no such thing as bad weather only poor clothing. Buy some wellies and a raincoat for goodness sake!
