The Walkie Talkies – Weekly Thursday Walks at 10:30am

Join the Walkie Talkies every Thursday morning at 10:30am for a lively and invigorating group walk. Routes alternate weekly between shorter strolls (4–6 miles) and longer treks (6–9 miles), offering something for every pace and preference.  The next walk, a 6 mile walk on 11th September, starts at Ashford in the Water car park behind the church.

Meeting points are planned ahead and shared on the group’s website. Each walk is led by one of their enthusiastic members, who volunteer to guide the way, with plenty of support from fellow walkers when needed.

Interested in giving it a go? All you need is a pair of sturdy hiking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, a packed lunch, and a good dose of enthusiasm. While they value the health benefits of walking, they also cherish the social side, so a visit to a nearby pub is often on the cards to recharge and unwind.

South West Community Assembly community group review

On Monday representatives from Crosspool Forum will be attending a South West Community Assembly community group review at Sheffield town hall.

The purpose of the get together is to work out how local groups can be more involved in the work that the South West Community Assembly does on behalf of the wider community.

Matthew Rush, South West Community Assembly Officer, explains more:

Since before the official launch of the South West Community Assembly in May 2009 we have been looking at developing engagement with local groups. So far we have achieved mixed success and would now like to review the situation and look at using a model that is fit for purpose across the four wards. The hope is that we can involve groups more in the work that the Assembly does on behalf of the wider community.

Rather that replicating our previous attempts to nurture a formal relationship with community groups through the Partner Panel we would like to hear what your group has to say and what you feel is the best way forward.

It will be chaired by Councillor Mike Reynolds and include workshops as a way of exploring the best way forward.

Also invited to the session are representatives from Dore and Totley Ward Forum, Ecclesall Forum and Hallam Community Youth Association. We’ll report back on how it goes.
