SUMMARY:Annual Association Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Association Trustees have been reviewing the feedback from the recent Survey and using this to help shape some of our plans going forward …… one thing is that we are proposing that we have an Annual Association Day – a chance for us to celebrate our Association and Service.  \nWe appreciate that Branches already hold meetings\, Informal groups already meet up\, and that there are gatherings planned across the country\, indeed the world\, all the time\, but\, this is proposed to be an annual occasion and one that we hope all Members of the Association of Wrens and Women of the Royal Naval Services will celebrate. \nIdeally\, we are looking for an individual / group within each ‘region’ / local area to work with the Trustees and to look to organise something in their local area. \nThe local area event can be absolutely anything – something as simple as a few ladies meeting for a coffee\, going for a walk\, going for a lunch\, or a more formal gathering (e.g. perhaps a Dinner Night) …… whatever works for your area / contacts / network will be perfect!  The point is that we celebrate our Association together and help raise awareness of our Association. \nWe propose that each ‘event’ would be publicised on our Association website\, on social media\, within the local press\, etc.\, and this should help to raise awareness of the Association and perhaps encourage Membership. If you need help with creating a press release or creating a post for Facebook\, please just get in touch and we will do what we can to assist. \nWe are aiming to start what we hope will be an annual event in June 2022\, and we’re planning that our Annual Association Day will be held on / around the second Saturday in June ……. so in 2022\, this will be on Saturday 11thJune. \nDon’t worry if you can’t hold your event on Saturday 11th June\, but if you could try to hold it around that time (a week either side – e.g. from 4th to 19th June) that would be perfect 😊. \nPost-event\, we are hoping for some publicity too – shout about our successes and esprit de corps! Again\, if you need assistance\, please do get in touch. Remember\, if you are sending in pictures to upload to social media\, the web or for The Wren\, please ensure you have the permission of those in your pictures and try not to have the ‘backs of heads’\, but rather have all facing the camera for a good shot! \nIf you are interested in being involved\, or require more information\, please send a note of interest to the Office (E:office@wrens.org.uk) who will pass your details on to the Trustee’s Sub-Committee\, and then we will be in touch.

SUMMARY:Wrens Out Walking  - Derbyshire Dales
DESCRIPTION:Wrens Out Walking – Derbyshire Dales – Saturday and Sunday 28th and 29th May \nA 10 mile walk has been organised and planned by our good friends Janice Bush and the ladies from the Derbyshire Dales Branch of the Association of Wrens. \nWe would welcome anyone to come and join us\, The itinerary is as follows: \nSATURDAY \n* Meet at Matlock Football Club (DE4 3AR) from 0900-0930 for tea and bacon sandwiches. We leave the ground at 0950 for a short walk to Matlock Railway Station – our train departs at 1013. \nThere won’t be parking at football club as we won’t be back until late afternoon however Derbyshire county hall is 5 minutes walk away and open. ( Bank road\, DE4 3AG\, not to be confused with pay and display Derbyshire Dales Council). It says permits but its okay at the weekend as there’s no barrier or attendant. No need to bring lunch as Dales’ ladies are doing a bit of a buffet. \n* After a 10 minute ride to Whatstandwell Station we walk by country lane to the National Tramway Museum in Crich which should take 40 minutes. The museum is holding an event titled ‘A Great British Seaside’\, it should be busy so will hopefully attract some interest. We walk through the museum village to board a vintage tram and ride to the end of the line at Glory Mine to pick up a public footpath to Crich Stand\, a memorial to the Sherwood Foresters’ Regiment and a local landmark with expansive views in all directions. From here its down into Crich Village to the Old Comrades Club who are opening early for us to have a lunch break – ETA approx 1230. \n* At 1300 we shall set off through the village to cross fields\, passing the entrance of the Museum again\, then picking up a public footpath into Lea Woods\, emerging onto a country lane leading towards Holloway where we will have a view of the family home of Florence Nightingale. By footpath behind the estate we cut through woodland and descend to the towpath of Cromford Canal. This is a flat\, made up path\, with lots of points of interest along the canal for 1.5 miles. At the end of the canal are the preserved historic Cromford Mills – famous as the site of Sir Richard Arkwright spinning mill – ETA 1500. \n* From here its a flat pavement walk of about 1.5 miles along the A6 to the resort village of Matlock Bath\, known as Matlocks answer to Blackpool (Candy floss is available here). We head then for Matlock Bath railway station but instead of a train we board an alpine ski lift\, up and across the gorge to reach the visitor attraction of Heights of Abraham. Here we stop briefly in the cafe for tea/coffee before a public footpath over fields brings us down into Matlock Town – ETA 1700 approx \n** The complete route is 10 miles but there is scope to join or leave at Whatstandwell\, Cromford or Matlock Bath using the train line. \n** The terrain is mixed so good walking footwear is advised. \n** There will be many public toilets available throughout the route. \nSUNDAY \n*Our Sunday walk will be a gentle affair – a short loop around the historic Chatsworth estate\, but will close with a grand finale ! \nMindful that many will have long journeys home\, we’ll have an early-ish start. We will meet at Chatsworth House (DE45 1PP ) at the car park kiosk 9:00 -9:15. There is a £5 charge for parking. \nWe walk away from the house passing Queen Mary’s Bower and crossing the stone bridge\, following the River Derwent over flat meadows toward Calton Lees. After a gentle climb through the sheep and deer pastures we turn to head back towards the postcard village of Edensor for a quick brunch at the village tea room. We need to depart from here 11:00 at latest but the owner is happy to take a pre order so food and drinks can be ready for us. \nLeaving the village we follow the path back to the house and adjacent stable courtyard. \nThere in the courtyard we have a 11:30 meeting with the Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire\, Mrs Elizabeth Fothergill CBE for ‘a chat and a photo’. \nAfterwards\, for those who are not in a rush\, the park behind the house is free to explore. (The hunting lodge has cannon from the Battle of Trafalgar !) There are a number of sculptures on display. The courtyard has shops and a café and a short drive from here is the gastronomic Chatsworth farm shop. \nPlease advise Barbara McGregor via the AOW Office if you would like to attend or if you have any questions. \nWOW kit is available for you to order – follow the link https://royalnavyshop.co.uk/collections/wrens-out-walking \nWe are hoping to raise funds on the day for the AOW and WRNS BT.
