You don't have to be a member to come along, members' families and friends and walkers from other groups are all warmly invited. There will often be a special guest speaker. Come along, share some food and drinks with us and get to know more about your fellow local Ramblers. A poster for a past event is shown below.
Social evenings we have held included;
- an evening based on the theme of planning walks. Many of our walk leaders came along. It was great to say thank you over a glass of wine and some homemade snacks and cakes.
- an illustrated talk by a Ramblers Holidays walk leader about her experiences leading famous walks in the UK and overseas
- a talk from local gear expert and expedition leader Peter Moss on how to keep safe and comfortable in all weathers, plus a chance to take a hands-on look at some state-of-the-art walking kit.
- a talk by Cadi Price on the work of The Severn Gorge Countryside Trust and the ways in which The World Heritage Site is managed for the benefit of walkers, the local community and for wildlife
- a talk by Raj Mehta about being Mayor in Telford's 50th birthday year (our Telford T50 50 Mile Trail was a T50 anniversary 'legacy project')
- a talk by Dr John Box on the 'greening' of Telford's industrial riches to nature's treasures.
All our social evenings include refreshments and our famous homemade cakes of course.
Daytime social events have included short and social walks followed by lunch, members' garden parities, training courses on map and compass navigation, walk leading, first aid, and Xmas lunch walks.
Most years we host away weekends staying in great walking areas such as The Peak District, The Welsh Hills and The Welsh Coast with plenty of time to socialise as well as great walking.
A small group of members walks a National Trail together over a week in late Spring staying at B&Bs. We have walked The West Highland Way, The Wolds Way, The Ridgeway, The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path, The Cotswolds Way and next year we will complete The South Downs Way.
