Forthcoming Events
If you have any ideas for future OL gatherings (whether formal or informal), or would like to propose venues or have any other suggestions, please get in touch with the Development Office at any time. We'll also be reporting on recent OL events as they happen, so please watch this space!
Friday 9th March 2012
Manchester Dinner
Venue - Wilmslow Golf Club
A round of Golf will be arranged for midday and OLs outside the area are most welcome to attend. An invitation to all OLs in the area will be sent out early in the New Year. If, however, you wish to attend and live a little further afield, full details can be obtained from Nick Hargreaves. To make a weekend of it we propose a ramble and pub lunch at 10am on Saturday 10th March at Monsaldale, the walk of approximately 3.5 miles will be followed by lunch at the Monsal Head Hotel.
Sunday 18th March 2012
Old Leysian Society Ramble
Venue - Wicken Fen
After a long break since our April walk in Derbyshire, the OL Rambling Society will once again explore the Cambridgeshire countryside on Sunday March 18th with an early spring walk, approximately 7 miles around the Wicken Fen National Nature Reserve led by the OLS’s resident ornithological expert John Harding, starting and finishing at the Five Miles from Anywhere, No Hurry Inn in Upware. We’ll convene in the pub car park at 10am and have lunch on our return – we’d be delighted if any OLs, their partners, families or friends were able to join us. Please email Fiona (or telephone 01223 508545) if you’d like to come so we can book a large enough lunch table.
