About WOW - Walking on Wednesday.
Walking on Wednesday was formed in 1996 as part of the Life Be
in It program...( remember Norm??) and was
sponsored by the State Government till 2019 when they decided to cancel the
program. We had a group of walkers who wanted to continue so we approached the
Southern Highlands Bushwalkers committee and they accepted us as a
subsidiary.
We walk 40 different walks each year between March and
November but the distinction is we are social walkers. We walk only 4-6 km
generally each week, always on a trail or path and have a picnic lunch
together afterwards, or a bbq once a month. Once a term we go for a pub lunch
after our walk.
We have 14 different walk leaders who check out the walk beforehand
and lead the walk on the day. We have 50 plus members who receive a weekly email
on a Sunday reminding members of the walk and the conditions. So we are not
really looking for new members. We usually walk with between 20-30 walkers. But
we are happy to have the occasional visitor
from SHB and we have enjoyed 3 or 4 visitors as well as the helpful
suggestions of walks from David McFarlane.
If SHB members want to join us for
a walk just call Glen Vandine on 0408 617 052.
