Choir walking group

Rendezvous in Bogey Lane

On September 5, a group of 14 assembled at the Greyhound in Keston, the venue used by the choir committee for its meetings.

Off and walking at Epsom

Tweve walkers gathered outside the Beefeater at Tattenham Corner overlooking Epsom race course in sunny weather on August 15 but thankfully cooler temperatures. Early arrivals were dismayed when the barkeep announced there was no beer. This was rectified when his manager realised the potential lost business and some was magically produced.

Walk graced by record-setting women

Twelve walkers gathered at the Skimmington Castle on Reigate Heath on July 25. They included four women – a record proportion – of whom Hilary Smith, widow of choir stalwart Peter, was making her walk-group debut.

Midsummer delights

Six walkers left The Fox pub on Coulsdon Common on June 28 to retrace a walk last done on a crisp mid-winter's day in December 2018. This time it was glorious mid-summer with shorts and sunhats the preferred attire.

Of blossoms and crumble

Dick Jones writes: Despite South-West Trains’ attempt to delay our arrival at the Black Horse, Norbiton, on April 25, 13 walkers departed only 13 minutes behind schedule after allowing the latecomers to finish their food and drink.
