Vice-president Karen Looker presents a cheque for £2,500 to Gavin Fisher, Chief Executive of the Children’s Respite Trust who at one of the February meetings gave members a comprehensive view of the charity’s work helping to improve the lives of children with profound learning and physical difficulties through short family breaks throughout Sussex, Surrey and Kent.

A last-minute check on my appearance – or enjoying the view from the summit – before setting off for well-earned refreshment at the Trevor Arms in Glyndebourne.

Another happy band of President’s walkers shown here at Firle Beacon about to set off (or shilly-shally, in the words of leader for the day Karen Looker) to the top.

Survivors from the first walks in 1994 and still striding out in 2016 are Chris Kinnear (disguised here as a simple French peasant) and Moira, and also lurking at the back Carole and former member Cameron Sharp.
