Happy 40th Birthday Ivel Valley Walkers

On Wednesday July 17th 2024 Ivel Valley Walkers members celebrated the Group's 40th Anniversary at Langford with three separate walks, led by Marcus(10 miles), Colin and Jackie(7 miles) and David and Rosemary (5 miles). The three walks represented the range of walks and days of the week the group walks.

On the return, members enjoyed a Hog Roast (with vegan alternative) before listening to an interesting speech by Tony Sheward on the history of Ivel Valley Walkers. From its humble beginnings under the chairmanship of Robin Setchell, the added days for walking as demand increased, the introduction of holidays, the changing size and content of the programme through to the very successful group it is today.

The well received speech was followed by founder members Linda Kynnersley and Bruce Blott cutting the Anniversary cake. Over 90 members enjoyed afternoon tea and some superb home made cakes made by lady members who preferred to remain anonymous. To round off, Bernard Morse, who had done a fantastic job organising everything, including the weather, enabled those members who would like to try crown green bowling to do so at the local Langford Bowling Club.
