Rambling

For your mind, body, spirit and creativity

The Rambling Club

Clear your head by walking through the countryside and let your thoughts wander. It breaks routine, shakes loose ideas, and gives perspective that staying still rarely does. Rambling is gentle exercise. It lowers stress hormones, improves heart health, and just plain feels good to move in fresh air.

Are you new to the area and would like to meet new friends whilst getting to know the area?

Why not start a friendly group of ramblers who meet at the club. Then walk a wide and varied range of walks, all from the club and possibly around 4 miles long. The walks could finish in Alcester where you can enjoy a light lunch and maybe a drink back at the Club as a reward!

If you would like to start a walking group then just turn up at the club and find like minded people. Call 01789 – 762458 for more details.

Fishing

Peace, therapy or the thrill of the catch

The Fishing Club

You can fish alone to clear your head or turn it into a weekend event with friends or family. Both work perfectly. It’s one of those hobbies that bridges generations — everyone from a child to a grandparent can share in it.

The Fishing club is a friendly and just for fun group that welcomes people of all ages, male or female. You will always be welcome to join us for some time on the river bank.

We have regular matches throughout the year (normally once a month) at various locations throughout the region.

If you are interested in joining us, please contact Kevin Bell by calling the club on 01789 – 762458 with your name and number and they will get back to you.
