Wenvoe walking group began about 30 years ago when Doreen Searchfield and Mary Rees said, in the Wenvoe Arms upper room, that they would like to walk around the village but didn\u2019t know where to go. Bert Bates and John Custance took up the challenge and started local walks.<\/p>\n

The monthly Thursday walks and longer Saturday walks then become the norm. Bert and Gwyn Bates, John and Jacky Custance and Ian Moody were the main organisers.<\/p>\n

Following Bert\u2019s recent decision to hang up his Thursday afternoon boots, current and past Thursday walkers assembled at the Wenvoe Arms upper room once more to say \u2018Thank you\u2019 for all the chat, walks and fun.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Joyce for organising the evening, Jenny at the Wenvoe Arms for supplying a delicious hot and cold buffet, all the walkers for the friendship and stories, and of course, Bert and Gwyn for all the happy memories.<\/p>\n
