What have we been up to?
--- lots and lots of events Our annual trek to Tasmania led by Sean Parker and Liz Parish was an outstanding success and especially so for Di Ryan as she completed her first Backpacking adventure, well done Di Read her great report HERE Lots of wonderful photos have been posted on our MVB facebook group LINK HERE And there are heaps of new event reports which you access from the News menu item on the MVB website.https://murrayvalleybushwalkers.org.au/index.php/news/event-reports-2018 The two Tony's Monday and Tuesday morning walks have been going off the Richter scale in participation. Seems like lots of people are lucky to have one or both of those days available. And Di Ross has a coffee club happening on Wednesdays 12-15 to 1-15 pm at the Coffee Club opposite QEII square in Dean St Albury. The canoeing program continues to be a drawcard - especially if you are female it would appear!
