Scarborough and District RA Group
Walks News
Our Sunday walks programme offered walks most weeks during the year and our thanks go to Ray Johnson, Rambles Organiser, and the team of dedicated leaders for the work involved in providing such a variety. Numbers varied but usually attract around 12 to 15.  A programme of shorter walks, taking place on Thursdays and ending with a pub lunch, was organised by Margaret Ingham.
Weekly evening walks were arranged by Ray during the summer months.  Attendance was variable, possibly due to the bad weather, but usually attracted around 6.

Footpath News
Les Atkinson has worked extremely hard on many footpath problems during the year and has built up a good rapport working with members of NYMNPA.  A couple of his main successes have been –
Work was done to replace a footbridge at Stoup Beck and Scarborough Group had photos and publicity articles in the local press.  The diversion around Red House farm is finally open after twelve years of involvement by Scarborough Group footpath officers.

Social News
Over 30 group members enjoyed the pre Christmas walk and carvery, which was again held at Hayburn Wyke Hotel and arranged by Peter Fahy. A “Secret Santa” gift idea was introduced and proved very popular. 

Thanks go to Lisa Crozier, Social Secretary, who once again masterminded an enjoyable programme of monthly dining out and socializing at various local establishments. Members and friends have enjoyed a good variety of cuisine during the year. Amongst the most popular venues were the Glass House Bistro at North Bay, the Yew Tree at Scalby and the Everley at Hackness.

A Scarborough Group Newsletter was produced and sent out with the September Area News and it is hoped that this will become a regular feature. Our thanks go to Margaret Atkinson for the time and effort involved in getting it off the ground.
