SHEFFIELD VISUALLY IMPAIRED WALKING GROUP

Over the last few months we have had various questions and comments about a group holiday. Last year we asked members to let us know about a group holiday. We did not receive enough response and did not think it was worth taking it any further.

We are asking again with a view to next year 2027, at this stage we are not asking for a firm commitment just an expression of interest to help us to decide whether to pursue the subject.

It would be very helpful if members would respond either way so we know they have read this. A decision will be make at the beginning of December so please respond ASAP. Thank you.

I would like to convey my gratitude to all my friends in the group for their lovely messages of support for my recovery also thanks for the gorgeous flowers which cheered me up. I am getting there slow but sure not as fast as I would like, missing everyone, lots of love Anne.

Anne earlier sent in the card below created by her daughter to express her gratitude to the SVIWG.

Maryline our walk coordinator is compiling a list for the Wednesday and Sunday walks for 2027. Please give her a call if you can lead a walk for us (details on the contact page).

Thank you.

Our sighted guide training day will be Tuesday 3rd November 10 until 12pm at SRSB Mappin Street. We have spaces for others to join so if you have already had training some time ago and would like a refresher, please contact gail.fagan106@gmail.com. Thank you.

Unfortunately, we have had to cancel the Coach ramble due to Anne Batty's recent heart surgery. Ann instigated this walk for us and was very keen to take our group on this walk. Hopefully we can do it next year as we did not think it was fair to do this walk without her. Mike Wilson has kindly volunteered to do a Wednesday walk for us at short notice so thank you Mike!
