The long walk will be led by Arnold Hodgson. There will also be a short walk of about an hour’s duration on footpaths around Upton Lovell led by John Hedges. It would be nice if we could support John as on the last walk there was nobody on the short walk.
Please note: I would like to know who is attending – so please reply specifying long or short walk and your menu choice (see attached menu).
Pubs have suffered from a number of ‘No Shows’ from groups of our size and people not paying for their meal so the booking has only been accepted on these conditions.
- Your meal will have to be pre-ordered by Thursday 30th July (no exceptions please)
- Food is to be paid for before sitting down at the pub and could you make sure that you get a receipt
Important Information
Wives/partners are welcome on the walk and a ‘booking system’ is used.
You need to reply directly to the walk coordinator (Arnold’s contact details below) if you wish to attend.
The deadline for confirming attendance is Wednesday 29th July.
The walk program is displayed on the Frome Probus website and is updated each month.
