We are joining in the 25 Km challenge which is designed to be 5km on each of 5 days.  This fits in nicely, with just a little tweaking, to our usual programme. So , the idea is to walk at some of our usual meeting places and times as follows:
Monday 10th November  am Leegomery   (one off  level 3)
Tuesday 11th November  am  Asda Donnington Wood  (the Granville)
Wednesday 12th November  pm Wellington
Thursday 13th November  am  St Georges
Friday 14th November  am  Shawbirch  (one off  level 3)
So far,  we know that 4 of our walkers are hoping to do all 5 walks. 
The Just Giving page for sponsorship is now open.
All are very welcome on all or any of the walks, just turn up.  Sponsorship would also be gratefully received. 

Please see the poster for details. Please click here for last year’s draft minutes.

On Wednesday May 21st we held a special big Thankyou for all of our walk leaders who give their precious time each week to enable our walks to take place.

We were very fortunate that Cllr Paul Davis working for Haygate & Park, Cabinet Member for Communities & Civic Pride attended to add his thanks on behalf of Telford & Wrekin Council

Here is Carol Round who is stepping down as Coordinator for RWW T&W, Carol remains a very valuable and active member of our committee and we wanted to acknowledge her huge commitment to our organisation.

We are very pleased to announce that we have a new co-ordinator Dilys, following a very smooth transition from Carol who took over at very short notice on a temporary basis in 2022. We are very grateful to Carol who has filled the role excellently and has overseen the establishment of 2 new walks. Here is Dilys (left) being presented with her T50 Medal by Naomi at the Donnington Community Open Day on April 12th. A bit overdue, but well done Dilys.

There was fabulous start for our new Admaston walk on 8th January. Despite the cold! 29 joined the walk, led by Nicky, then back to the cafe at Admaston House for hot homemade soup and roll.

Why not come and join in. The walk is every Wednesday morning at 10.00am.

We had a very pleasant and constructive AGM on 28th November. Dave our chair presented the Alf Clewes shield to Carol for her outstanding contribution. It was very good to see some of our new walk leaders, and also two walkers, there amongst the old hands. The mince pies and lebkuchen were greatly appreciated.

The 2024 AGM will be held at 2.30 pm on Thursday 28th November at the Methodist Church Hall in Wellington. All leaders and registered walkers welcome.

2023 AGM

This year’s AGM was held at 2 pm on Thursday 23rd November in the Walker Room at Meeting Point House. We were pleased to welcome a new chair David Wright, and a new member Tim Riggott to the committee. We were sad to lose Chris from the committee but pleased that she will continue to lead at Horsehay .
