Spend those cold, grey Mondays walking with SVSS!

Enjoying the grey January day a little more with two-footed and four-footed friends on a walk round Cedar Hill Golf Course.

The SVSS inaugural walking group started today with the first group of four walkers and a dog named Benny, heading off at 2pm sharp. We welcome walkers every Monday at 2pm and we go rain or shine. Snowy walks are possible, too, with the right footwear. We look forward to this being a weekly, healthy routine. So does Benny the pup!

Well behaved dogs with their friendly people are welcome! Turn up ready to roll at 2 pm any Monday. We won't wait for stragglers, since it's not something folks have to sign up for, so feel free to come five minutes early!

Thank You, Reception Volunteers!

“Never more than now, have I been so pleased to be of help, even if my contribution is very small. I think SVSS has given me much more than I have given it in the last 12-13 years! I also feel privileged to be working with such a wonderful and dedicated team.”
