Whitchurch Walkers
were formed in 1976 by a group of local people interested in walking
and the protection of local footpaths. Whilst the group is not overly
large it is well supported and holds one half day Saturday afternoon
ramble and one all day Sunday ramble per month throughout the year plus
a number of mid week-walks. The Saturday and mid-week walks are
normally between 4 and 6 miles and the Sunday walks between 8 to 11
miles.
The Whitchurch Walkers are organised by a committee (listed below) that
meets in the Black Bear, High Street, Whitchurch on the last Tuesday of
each month except for December and March, which is reserved for the
Annual General Meeting.
Every 6 months a new programme is produced and published giving details of the walks planned for the next 6 months.
Our current subscriptions, renewable in March of each year, are:
Adults
£5.00
Children (under 16, accompanied by an adult) Free

walk l eaders. Anybody interested is welcome to attend any of our meetings
or contact us through the 'contact us' page of this web site.
If you would like to join us please complete our on-line membership form.
