We leave the Village Hall car park on foot or by car at 10am sharp to do a circuit of approximately one hour. You are advised, therefore, to get to the village hall by 9.55 am latest. Walk routes will not be announced beforehand but will be chosen according to the mud factor.
Dogs are welcome provided that they are put on a lead when requested. Walking boots (or wellies in wet weather) are recommended but not compulsory. Walking poles may also be beneficial. Some routes include stiles.
If you are leaving your car at the village hall to complete the walk, please park it on the road outside rather than in the car park.

Brain of Sibford
Last month’s Junior Quiz was a resounding success, much enjoyed by the large audience. The winner of the Mastermind was Neil Bosomworth of the Friends’ School, with Anne Careless and Jeffrey Hutchinson runners-up.
After a closely fought Top of the Form contest, the Friends’ School won with 48 points to the Warriner‘s 40. Congratulations to all the winners for their displays of knowledge and calm nerves, and also to those who didn’t win for taking part so sportingly.
