The Abingdon Health Walks scheme offers three walks a week from the White Horse Leisure and Tennis Centre (Monday, Wednesday and Fridays – 10.15 am meet in the cafĂ©); and a Gentle Walk from Preston Road Community Centre (Thursday).
The walks do not cost anything but you do need to register with them beforehand. BETTER who run the leisure centre, has recently helped by providing public liability insurance and DBS checks for walk leaders – things necessary these days, so walks can continue as they have since Viv Boorman started them in 2004.
They also organise social events and the photo shows 50 members on holiday in September walking the Golden Cap National Trust trail in Somerset.
To find out more information on Abingdon Health Walks, ask at the leisure centre or contact Viv Boorman (Volunteer Scheme Coordinator) by emailing vivboorman531@btinternet.com .
