 THE WEEK THAT WAS...
Don's bike ride in The Pentlands on Saturday 12 March looks fantastic. I just love that it was snowy in places and glorious sunshine in others. Don's next ride on Saturday 12 April (details above).
Rollerblading on Saturday 1 March went well too. I was away skiing that time so really looking forward to getting my skates this Saturday. If you would like to join us just reply to this email, absolute beginners welcome. Full details above.
Nordic Walking went well I hear on Sunday. Aerial Assault was terrifying yet strangely addictive! We'll be booking another session soon - it's a good way to get going on a Sunday.
Dinner at The Borough on Saturday was fabulous. It was very popular this time, apologies to those of you who we couldn't accommodate. The next date is Saturday 19 April.
