Programme Updates – please avoid changing start times I am always happy to receive corrections or additional walks to fill the gaps which I can then email to the membership and the website. But please don't change start times except in an emergency. Changing start times can be worse than changing the destination. We can’t be sure that everyone is using the latest version of the programme. Digitally Enabled Buddies For expediency and to minimise distribution costs, I send the updates out as a new version of the programme within a covering email which lists what has changed. For those of you who are not digitally enabled, could I ask that you choose a digitally enabled “buddy” in the walking group who can keep you informed of any updates to the programme. It is not perfect but it should enable greater coverage than just those that I can contact by email. If you are unsure of the latest programme, you or a helpful friend can always find it at www.cravenu3a.org.uk (go to Classes, Classes T-Z, Walking Group, then click on Walk Programme for the pdf file) Cotswold Outdoor Skipton will give members a 15% discount, on production of their U3A membership. Please be discreet when claiming the discounts. Annual Lunch at the Clarendon Hotel Hebden, coordinated by Glenys, 12.30 pm on Tuesday 13th January. Next Planning and Members Meeting: 17th April at 2 pm, Soroptimists Rooms, Otley St, Skipton.
