WALKING GROUPS<br />
MOFTAG BIDS A SAD<br />
FAREWELL TO<br />
YVONNE WOODHAM<br />
IT is with heavy hearts<br />
that the moftag club of<br />
calpe pays tribute to our<br />
dear member yvonne who<br />
sadly passed away on 20th<br />
november aged 72 years.<br />
Yvonne moved to calpe in<br />
2010 and joined moftag a<br />
year later. she was an active<br />
member and gave tirelessly<br />
to all our fund raising<br />
events. she had a huge<br />
heart for giving. tragically<br />
it was her heart that let her<br />
down in the last few weeks<br />
of her life.<br />
She was incredibly talented<br />
and knitted the most<br />
beautiful toys which she raffled<br />
to raise extra money for<br />
our charitable causes.<br />
Yvonne loved to socialise<br />
and was even known to entertain<br />
us with a song on the<br />
odd occasion! she worked<br />
hard on our committee helping<br />
to plan and organise<br />
events for our members to<br />
enjoy too.<br />
In addition to all of this<br />
she was a dedicated wife to<br />
her husband bob for almost<br />
52 years and a proud mother<br />
to 1 daughter and 2 sons.<br />
she idiolised her 7 grandchildren<br />
and leaves a huge void<br />
in all of their lives.<br />
Sadly missed but never to<br />
be forgotten - we are grateful<br />
that you could share a<br />
part of your life with all of us<br />
at moftag.<br />
Monday Ramblers<br />
PAUL and Jan Leniston<br />
are reporting that this<br />
group has made a very<br />
promising start, despite<br />
the less than perfect<br />
weather.<br />
Although the numbers<br />
on each walk are limited<br />
to about 16, so that everyone<br />
knows everyone else for<br />
most walks there are still a<br />
few vacancies.<br />
For the first walk on 7<br />
October 16 set off to walk<br />
in the valley from Jalon to<br />
Parcent, with a banana stop<br />
at Alcalali and our picnic<br />
lunch at font in Parcent.<br />
Photo 1 is of the walk on<br />
14 October when 13 started<br />
from Benimeli for a steady<br />
climb up to the Aerials<br />
overlooking the village and<br />
ending at Bar Tormos for a<br />
welcome drink.<br />
Photo 2 is of the walk on<br />
28 October when 11 walked<br />
from Parcent to Benichembla,<br />
via Murla, which included<br />
crossing a river<br />
three times - fortunately it<br />
was not too deep after the<br />
recent rain.<br />
BACK IN THE SWING<br />

Wanderers<br />
ALAN and Pat Cuthbert are<br />
reporting a good turnout for<br />
these less strenuous walks.<br />
Photo 3 is of their walk on<br />
6 November when a large<br />
group walked to the Bernia<br />
Fort.<br />
The scenery was spectacular<br />
and followed with a wellearned<br />
lunch at the Refugio<br />
Restaurant.<br />
With walks on Monday,<br />
Wednesday and Thursday<br />
there is no excuse not to get<br />
out and enjoy good company,<br />
spectacular scenery, whilst<br />
getting fresh air and fitter.<br />
Come on please give it a go.<br />
