BROMSGROVE U3A heralded the new year and term with a quiz on the first Thursday of January to engage the minds and interests of members who attended at the Spadesbourne Suite at the Bromsgrove District Council offices.

A most enjoyable afternoon was spent by about 70 members in attendance.

We are continuing our series to introduce the various specialist groups that cater for member’s interests.

This time it is about the rambling group who have a leader, who is an experienced rambler, to guide them on the wide variety of monthly walks through the Worcestershire countryside.

The pace is set by the leader to accommodate the differing walking skills.

And then there is another skilled rambler bringing up the rear to ensure that nobody gets left behind.

This is a chance to enjoy the countryside – the walks are a maximum of four miles – as well as to socialise with other members who have a similar interest.

No specialised equipment is needed, just strong walking shoes.
