Newsletter

The Group produces a newsletter, MAINBEAM approximately every 2 months. The content is provided by Group Members and covers a variety of fairly light hearted topics that are usually, but not necessarily, motoring related. The newsletter relies on its regular contributers to fill the pages, but we welcome contributions from anyone who has something to say and wants to share it with others.

RoSPA Ramblers

Saturday 27th March

The next Group Walk will be on 27th March. The walk will take us to Little Budworth Country Park, which is off the A49 and next to Oulton Park. This will be a chance to see the countryside by exploring lanes and fields not often seen from the car. Around 5 miles, no rushing about and a good laugh to boot. Further details from Alan Yates, 0161 336 4747 or setaynala01@talktalk.net.
