Burnham on Sea U3A
Strollers
Strollers 1
This is mainly a social group, but it has the advantage of allowing those who take part to get exercise.
It is also good for those people on their own and who do not have transport to be able to enjoy the countryside.
We cover a very wide area and walk anything from 1 to 3 miles.
In the winter we walk in the mornings and finish with a pub lunch.
In the summer we walk in the afternoon and generally have a picnic.
Meetings: Outings start from the Community Centre on Saturday mornings (winter) or afternoons (summer) throughout the year.
Group Leader: Margaret Budden.
Members of Strolling Group One have recently raised six hundred pounds after taking part in a sponsored walk for the Children's Hospice at Wraxall. Here are some pictures showing members participating. Photographs courtesy of Margaret Budden.

Strollers 2
The aims of this group are to explore our lovely Somerset countryside in the company of like-minded colleagues; and afterwards to enjoy a convivial lunch together.
Walks are generally 2 – 3 miles in length, of easy gradient and within ½ hour’s drive of Burnham.
Lunch is taken at a pub close to the route of the walk and forms an important part of the agenda so that members` education about good-places-to-eat locally is being extended week-by-week.
Members take turns to choose and lead the walks so that we frequently explore new locations and pubs. Attendance varies between 10 – 20. We can boast that we are rained on only once a year on average but can’t predict which day that will be!!
Meetings: 9.45am on 2nd and 4th Wednesdays at the Community Centre throughout the year, generally returning by 200pm
Group Leader: David Perry, 793536.
