Is this the end? End of what? Well, the end of our hiking group. Our numbers have shrank so much that we have lost critical mass. That is through people moving away (Australia, New Zealand), through sickness and even through death (Linda, Jim). Age, of course , would also play a role. Just worked out roughly what our average age is, including the youngsters we are at 55.
What is to be done? Abandoning the group should not be on the agenda, we are a nice bunch and would like to stick together for a while still. We will have some discussions at the AGM on the 5-Dec. Any input is welcome and if you can't make the AGM please at least send us a note of what you think should be done.
