SHEFFIELD VISUALLY IMPAIRED WALKING GROUP

Ann Batty has a pair of good condition size 6 ladies North Face walking shoes.
If anyone would like these please contact Ann on 07989 053534

Below is part of a message from a potential new guide who has asked for our help.
Please send any comments or suggestions to Sue, who will forward them on.

The Catholic Church is preparing for Jubilee 2025 with the theme of Pilgrims of Hope and here in Hallam we are keen that everyone should have the opportunity to take part in local pilgrimages being planned.
Please can you suggest what people with visual impairments would need to know in order to decide whether to take part?

This planning is at a very early stage so all ideas welcome. One pilgrimage site might be Padley Chapel at Grindleford.
Do you think this is something some group members might be interested in?

Apologies to all members who have put their names down to receive VI Training.

At present we have 6 names but would like a few more to allow for holidays and to make it worthwhile for Alison Anthony to teach.

As soon as we have enough names we will arrange, so if you would like training or extra training please contact Sue Hill.
