AGM 2026
It’s time for our Annual General Meeting! A chance for a good catch up over a drink, and to vote in the next committee.
Pub & Plan! SWG Walk Leaders' Social
Calling all SWG Walks Leaders, new and old – this social is for you!
Get together with other walk leaders to help plan walks, swap notes on routes, and share ideas!
We have the upstairs room at The Fat Cat booked out just for us, so what better way to spend an evening than chatting all things walks over a drink and a map.
If you’ve never led a walk with the group but want to find out more about leading, please do join us. You can pair up with more experience walk leaders to plan your walk and chat with your Safety & Training Officer to learn how to become a walk leader 🙂
This will also be a good opportunity to pick up any maps you may want to borrow, as well compasses, first aid kits etc that you may need for your next walk. Please put any requests into the Meetup chat.
If possible, please come prepared with a couple of walks ideas/suggestions, and your availability, so we can start filling in the late Winter/Spring walks calendar.
Looking forward to seeing you all!

Book Club #15 Prophet Song
Our next book is Prophet Song by Paul Lynch, winner of the 2023 booker prize, a dystopian novel inspired by the Syrian refugee crisis, Prophet Song is notable for having a unique writing style, for anyone new to the book club, we go to the pub and have an informal chat about the book and any other interesting questions that it raises, if we get a lot of people, we might split into smaller groups of 3 or 4 and then mix it up halfway through.

Book Club #14 Norwegian Wood
Our next book is Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami, the famous (and polarising) Japanese author. It is a coming of age story set in 1960s Tokyo. What it has to do with Norway remains to be seen..
Evening Picnic
Calling all walkers! Join us in Endcliffe Park to celebrate the start of summer with a picnic in the evening sun!

Book Club #14 Crossings by Alex Landragin
