We started 2026 with the sad news that Sue Redfern, a Pathfinders member for over 10 years, had died. Sue was a keen B walker with Pathfinders and also loved walking in the countryside around her home - unless it was raining, she didn't like that at all! Sue was diagnosed with MND about two years ago, which changed everything for her and everyone around her. Sue was still Sue, but unable to do all the things she loved. She had led a very active retirement up to then, friends, family, tennis, badminton, choir, lots of travel and of course lots of walks. Sue's funeral saw the church packed full to the rafters, it was a wonderful celebration of her life and £1557 was raised for MND Association.

A walk and a social get together is being arranged for Saturday 28th March 2926. There will be a short 7 mile circular walk starting at Fishlake. Lunch will then be provided at The Mill at Fishlake at 1pm. Parking will be at the Mill, the walk will commence at 10.30am. A menu, which will consist of curry, a vegetarian option and other choices will be sent out nearer the time so that we can pre-order. The cost will be £15, payable just prior to the date. Hope you can come along and join in. Please bring along a friend or partner. The walk will be an easy, flat walk. Alternatively if you do not wish to walk you can come along and enjoy a lunch out with Pathfinder friends. It would be useful if you could let me know provisionally if you intend to take part, so that I have an idea how many tables I need to book.
