Thame & Wheatley Events
Beetle Drive and Barbecue, July 2010 at Ickford village hall
The Beetle Drive and Barbecue on Friday 16th July proved to be a very successful event. Congratulations are
due to Christine Barnett for scoring the highest marks in the very competitive Beetle Drive so winning the
special prizes (including a tea towel decorated with dozens of ladybirds!). Many thanks are due to Mike Smith
and wife Jan for planning, buying, cooking etc all the excellent food and also to Chris Bignal for picking the
raspberries to top off the cheesecakes.
Grand Day Out in the Malvern Hills, May 2010

About a dozen ramblers joined Mike Smith for his day out walking in the Malvern Hills. With an early
start from Redbridge Park and Ride, they were able to enjoy a long walk from Great Malvern to Ledbury
across the hills, returning by train.
Thame & Wheatley Ramblers Get Walking Day events, May 2010

Thame & Wheatley Ramblers helped to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Ramblers on the weekend of
22nd/23rd May. As part of the national Get Walking Day campaign to encourage people to enjoy the
benefits of walking we set up a stall outside Thame Town Hall on Saturday to explain what the
Ramblers is

all about. Then on Sunday we led a leisurely walk from Upper High Street to the
county boundary and followed it with coffee and cakes in Memorial hall, Christchurch. Both events
were well supported, obviously helped by the sunny weather.
