Wednesday 7th January

Pub Night

Join us for a cosy evening in the Crown at Sandon. A chance to catch up with all the New Year action.

Sandon is about 3 miles south west of Chelmsford, near the A12 bypass, signposted from A1060 Maldon Rd (former A414). The Crown is in the centre of the village (near the Church, see map).


Wednesday 14th January

Committee Meeting

Everyone welcome. We will be discussing Wednesday nights for March and trips for next Spring. Be part of the process.


Hatfield Forest Sunday 18th January

Hatfield Forest Walk

George / Dave P

George has volunteered to guide us on a winter ramble of about 6 miles through the old deer park of Hatfield Forest. Meet at 10.30 am at the forest car park (¾ mile south of the B1256 (former A120) at Takeley Street, grid ref TL546203, see map). Lunch will be at the Hop Poles Inn, Bedlar's Green. Please contact Dave P if you wish to have a pub lunch.


Wednesday 21st January

Pictionary

Dave J

A chance to see if the alcoholic excesses of the Christmas season have killed off more than the usual number of brain cells. A game of strategy, cunning and blunt lead pencils.


Wednesday 28th January

South Africa slide show

Claire

Warm up this January with the baking African sun as Claire shows us her pictures of Cape Town and around the infamous Robben Island, and tells us about its history. For nearly 400 years, Robben Island, 12 kilometres from Cape Town, was a place of banishment, exile, isolation and imprisonment. It was here that rulers sent those they regarded as political troublemakers, social outcasts and the unwanted of society.


Note: Unless otherwise stated, Wednesday events start at 8.30pm at the YMCA in Victoria Road, Chelmsford
