World Mental Health Day: Badly Dressed Sponsored Walk

We're going on a Bear Hunt!

No, we're not. We are however going on our annual mental health walk in support of World Mental Health Day 2016.

Setting off from Cannock Leisure Centre on the morning of Thursday 13th October, we'll be walking across Cannock Park golf course, crossing the Stafford Road at The White Lion, through Cavan's Wood & Belt Wood to the Pye Green tower. From the tower we'll make our way to Cannock Chase Visitor Centre at Marquis Drive, to scarf down a packed lunch & have a nice rest. Some folk'll be making their way onwards to Hednesford bus station; the most intrepid (& showy-offy) may close the circle by walking back to Cannock Leisure Centre.

The route is structured so folk may do any or all of the walk, allowing us to include the full range of capacities & motivations. Some members will be seeking sponsorship for their efforts, monies collected will be added to Club funds to help pay for badminton, tennis, & other sports equipment; such monies may also be used in extending our activities & expanding our Club. So don't be mean if one of us waves a sponsor sheet at you...


We had a great day, with fine weather, last year & have our fingers crossed for another cracker. If you want to come along, have a word with Neil or Linda. If you can't make it, sponsor some poor hoofer...
