Programme for November 1998

The YMCA are hosting a cheese and wine party and would like us to come. Essential to bring some booze. Please let Lorna know how many invites you want.

At Lorna's from 8pm. Bring something to burn, drink and eat.

An evening shuttlecock bashing at Riverside. If it’s anything like last time it’ll be great fun, but watch out for those ultra-competitive girlies!

Please let Dave J know in advance if you’re interested so he knows how many courts to book.

Commanding fine views, this former vicarage lies in a rural Kent village at the foot of the North Downs. As well as walking on the North Downs Way there is Knole House, Ightham Mote, Chartwell, Whitbread Hop Farm and Lullingston Park Visitor Centre.

Our friend Jon Barker will be showing us a short video he's made about the Essex Wildlife Trust, and he will also be bringing someone from the Trust to tell us about woodland management.

It's now time for you all to practice the Christmas drinking you will be doing over the festive period. Your host for the day will lead you on a tour of the best ale houses our capital city has to offer, so get you winter woollies on and be very thirsty!.

Starting at The Pillars Of Hercules, Tottenham Court Road at 1pm.

This is the annual overnight orienteering competition in Epping Forest run by Walthamstow & Chingford YHA Group. You have eight hours to do a twelve mile course searching for camouflaged tents in the pitch dark undergrowth. We need teams of 2 to 4 people.

In '93 we won the trophy for best YHA group result, now is our opportunity to win the trophy back!

You've heard the gossip, seen the t-shirts, now see it as it really was! Massive scenery, huge rock formations, desert storms, ancient cities and Debs on the night of the infamous "intoxicated woman" incident! We have Grand Canyon, Bryces Hoodoos, Arches, Needles, Fiery Furnace and the Devils Garden. It's all here, tonight, don't miss out!

Anyone is welcome to check out where Geli got to and (pre-) celebrate her birthday too! Bring your own sleeping bag if you want to stay overnight. She'll be looking through her Surrey Teashop walks books. She says "R.S.V.P. by Nov 14^th so I can prepare myself for the invasion, oh, I mean occasion!". Arrive around 3.30 Saturday afternoon.
