Social Events
The GWG social programme for the group is very informal. Members
just organise things as and when they think of them, particularly
in the winter months when we don’t have our Thursday evening walks.
So if you’ve got a great idea or are going along to something anyway
and fancy some company, just let Lucy, our Social Coordinator, know
and she’ll happily advertise it for you.
Just email Lucy (social@gwg.org.uk)
with the details and she’ll pass them on to other members and get
the details published on the website. Previous events have included
things like meals out, theatre trips, ten-pin bowling, canoeing,
pub quizzes etc. But we’re always up for new ideas!
Saturday 10th July 2010 - Open Air Shakespeare
Four of us so far are going to see As You Like It by the
Rococo Players at the Rococo Garden, Painswick on Saturday 10th
July. The performance starts at 7.30pm with picnics in the grounds
from 6pm. If you'd like to join us, just go to their website
to find information about tickets etc. They have seats in two tiered,
covered stands @ £15 each or bring your own deckchair, sit in an
uncovered area and pay £10. We have (covered) seats in row I, numbers
16-19 if you want to sit near us. Let me know if you are coming
and we'll know to look out for you at picnic time!

Friday 23rd - Sunday 25th July 2010 - Canoeing Trip
Colin is organising a weekend's walking and canoeing near the Black
Mountains and may have one or two spaces free. Please contact him
direct if you are interested. Accommodation is at The Black Mountain
Lodge, where the group stayed for the gorge walking. Rooms cost
£23.50 per person per night minimum of four people per room, which
includes breakfast - see website
for more details. Half day canoe hire is £12.50 per person or £20
for full day. The half day trip covers the 5 miles between Glasbury-on-Wye
to Hay-on-Wye and is quite varied, including shallows, dead ends,
submerged rocks, deep spots for swimming (family tradition), a low
weir to shoot, and a pub conveniently located at the half way point.
He is planning a couple of walks (Friday and Sunday) with canoeing
