115 walkers started out from the Guildhouse but the party accreted several more (late risers?) and is believed to have reached a record 130 or so people who joined in this popular family outing around some of the most attractive paths that are close to the village. A small army of marshals ensured that everyone could concentrate on walking and talking and the stocks of mincepies and mulled wine were up to the challenge. Long live the spirit of Christmas and the spirit of a village community!

Matters discussed by the Trustee Directors in December 2011
