Urgent CoVid Update
 
21st December 2020
 
Due to unforeseen circumstances there will be no walk on Tuesday 22nd December.
 
The new six week lockdown with effect from 0001hrs on Boxing Day with the Executive reviewing at four weeks. If the lockdown is applied for the whole six weeks, our first walk in 2021 will be Tuesday 9th February 2021. (Castlewellan Town) which is very disappointing but at least it’s a date to look forward to.
 
Can we all abide by the restrictions given and all stay safe. I look forward  to seeing you all in 2021.
 
Wishing you all a happy Christmas
 
William
