Gawsworth Ramblers
Tuesday, July 13th (Please note the second Tuesday) is the date for this month’s walk of 5 miles, meeting at church at 9.30 am and driving to The Railway Inn, Mobberley (OS 778814) where we shall lunch later.
Field paths/minor roads take us to the perimeter fence of ‘Runway 2’ and we follow the ‘trail’ to the ‘new’ tunnel under the runway through which the diverted River Bollin flows. A coffee break allows us sight of aircraft landing on ‘Runway 2’ before we make our way back to the Railway Inn along field paths/minor roads, with further activity to excite the aircraft enthusiast.
Please let Barry know of your intention to walk/lunch so that the appropriate lunch arrangements can be made at the Railway Inn.

The June meeting was even more fun than usual. There was a treasure hunt which was all around the village with photos and cryptic clues that finally brought them home to the Parish Hall. There was some concern when some competitors were late returning. Those who were not so energetic stayed in the hall doing a treasure hunt with pictures and clues stuck on the walls. Hilda Bowler and Betty Gorton provided the pictures and clues; Betty even made lovely cakes for us to have with tea.
Please come to the coffee morning on 24 June in the Chapel at 10 am to 12 noon. Great cakes to buy and lie about all summer if you fill your freezer.
The next meeting is 6th July at 7.30 pm.

THE KEN NICOL EXPERIENCE
This is to advise you that Ken nicol is to appear at Gawsworth Village Hall on Friday 27th August 2010 with proceeds from the night in aid of the Alzheimers Society.
Ken is a very well known guitar virtuoso and composer who has fronted Steeleye Span as lead guitar for the lat seven years.
He last came to perform for us four years ago to a sell out audience and I expect this to be repeated, so please book early. The cost of the night is £15 including a succulent hog roast proved by Jayne Holland and there will be a licensed bar.
Tickets will be on sale in July but, if you enjoyed it last time, please let me know ASAP as numbers are limited. Many thanks,
James Rouse,
01625 429954 or 07711-532543
