Erewash Ramblers hold social evenings at West Hallam Village Hall and members of the public are very welcome to attend. A charge of £3 is made for each meeting.

New members are always welcome to join Erewash ramblers for a programme of regular walks from 3 to 10 miles.

Visit their website at www.erewashramblers.org.uk for full details. They also have a FaceBook page.

You are welcome to try two or three walks before deciding whether you want to join - just turn up at the start at the alloted time and you will be made most welcome.

If you are new to walking try the shorter walks to begin with and wear suitable footwear, bring a waterproof in case of rain and a drink, especially in warm weather.

Enjoy the countryside, fresh air, good company and some gentle exercise.
