Frickley Park - Summer 2024
This Summer, we have, with the landowner's kind permission, been building a new feature at Frickley Park in commemoration of our late chairman and treasurer Dave Brookes, who had a long association with Frickley. Now completed, the feature incorporates a semicircular wall between two pillars, and has a seat in the middle.
The project was completed on 20th October, and is due to be officially unveiled soon.
Training Courses - 2024
The branch have now completed our 2024 training course programme.
Courses ran from April to October. The weather for the courses was generally favourable, and we had numerous hard-working and enthusiastic trainees, and who have given us positive feedback.
The October course was particularly well attended, and seems to have been enjoyed both by the students and the branch members working with them.
The new venue, also in Hoylandswaine, has been well-received both by trainees and instructors.
Penistone Show - September 2024
This year we were very happy to be back at Penistone Show.
We had a very enjoyable and productive day, and built a new wall feature, which will hopefully be of benefit to local residents and walkers.
We also had a record number of course sign-ups, with a late surge of interest in the October training course.
Our thanks to Bill Noble, the Penistone Show Committee, and of course our many visitors.
