For Essex Walker Readers

Note : For those interested in long distance walking, Fleet Street sports journalist Julie Welch - authoress of "Out On Your Feet : The Hallucinatory World of One-Hundred Mile Walking" - is to be guest speaker at the Metropolitan Police Walking Club's Annual Dinner & Reunion at New Scotland Yard on Wednesday 10th March.

BMAF WALKING: LOOKING TO 2010

 

looking ahead, the entries for the WMA indoor championships at Kamloops, Canada MUST be with Pete Duhig by 9th January. Details are on the BMAF website -http://www.bvaf.org.uk/fix/fix.asp (yes, there is still a "v" where you might expect to see an "m"!

 

The European veterans' championships will be in Hungary in July. If any of you have booked a twin-bedded room and intend sharing it but haven't sorted that out yet, let me know if you would like me to pass the word round. Maurice Doogan has sent some information round e.g. about buses from Budapest airport. If you are interested in the international events then I expect you will be on his circulation list but if not I can pass information to you and ask Maurice to add you to his list.

 

The BMAF indoor championships will be at Lee Valley (Pickett's Lock) on 27/28 March - the 3k walk should be on the Sunday (28th). SCVAC have their indoor championships in mid-February and are happy to take entries from guests for the 3k walk.

 

Enough from me for the moment - let me know if you have any questions or wish to discuss any BMAF walking matters.

 

Very best wishes to you all for a peaceful Christmas and sparkling New Year
