WALKS COMING UP

Oxfordshire social events group

We have a very active programme of walks around Oxfordshire.
We run a local walk nearly every Sunday throughout the year, and a weekday evening walk each week from May to August; sometimes we go away for a walking weekend.

Why not come on an Oxford walk with us - the countryside is beautiful
and it's a great way to meet people and make friends.

You don't even have to be a member to come along the first time.
You can always join IVC on a three-month introductory basis for £5
after your first walk if you enjoy it.

For more details, please phone Alan on 01865 554534.
