Beetle Drive
Another fun afternoon and a big thank you to Phillip and Elaine for organizing.
We had more 'Beetlers' attending than in previous years - it was really good to see.

Outings
Just to keep you updated, the Committee discuss all and every suggestion presented and are investigating prices and details and all the other arrangements that go into making the
outings successful.
We could still do with more bodies to help with the outings so that we could perhaps do more.

Rambling
Nineteen walkers gathered at the Duke of Wellington in Ryarsh for our first walk of the year, It was a bright, sunny but frosty morning, just right for a ramble. We split into two groups one for long walkers with myself in the lead the other for a shorter walk with John Doe at the helm. The long walkers set off going up through the village and turning into the woods, and although it hasn't rained for a while the wood was very muddy and in parts we did struggle to make headway but by following the footpath we eventually came to The Coldrum long Barrow, where we stopped for a rest. From the footpath here we had quite a good view of the remainder of our walk but first we had to tackle a slight incline to the North Downs Way and then downhill to a footpath leading to the road back to the pub, where we found the short walkers having coffee in the garden. All in all this was a lovely walk with some lovely views over the Kent countryside and although arduous in parts was worth the effort which left everyone with a sense of satisfaction. The Next walk is Trottiscliffe on the 1st April (April fools day) meet at the
George Public house the lead will be Robin. Roly K
10 Pin Bowling
Hi all, well it was quite a depleted set of bowlers this month with only 5 turning up to play due to other commitments, We played 2 games with fairly low scores, with Myself scoring 121 and Maddy 101 with Phil coming next with 89. In the second game i scored 117 and Phil just beating Maddy with 89 to 87. Hopefully we'll have a better attendance, which will be on 28th March. See you there if you think you can be a winner Brian U .
We are booked into Weald of Kent golf club for the 2nd December Christmas Lunch.
Please put the date in your diary and i will keep you posted. marilynu@sky.com
