Please note that Sue R has set up a new facebook page called Dorset Ramblers. It is a good way to advertise our group and attract new members which we very much need. It is still in gestation, but we hope eventually to be able to post information etc there.See full story...

These are being designed and printed now and we hope to let you have them very soon. The intention is that you will be able to use the card for discounts in various ‘outdoor’ type stores and you will receive a new card annually.See full story...

This event had to be cancelled because of poor weather in Sept 2018 but has now been rescheduled for Sunday 8 September. We will meet at the canal basin (directions on separate sheet) at 10 am for a very pleasant 4.8 mile walk with views (there is a hill) and along the canal.See full story...
