Ten MIRTH stalwarts braved the cold to set off on the monthly MIRTH walk on 9th January. They were not put off by the sub-zero temperature. Nor were they afraid of a ‘feels like’ temperature of minus six (yes! -6 C). Rather they revelled in the beautiful sunshine and the warm company. They strolled from Newbold Common through Jephson Gardens and the Pump Room Gardens along the river to Victoria Park. There they diverted briefly to see the plaque which marks the high water level of the floods of April 1998. Then back in to the park to enjoy the exercise machines which have obviously made them all such models of good health with such fine bodies (editor’s note: if you believe this, you’ll believe anything! Note they are all wearing so much clothing that you can’t tell anything about their bodies …).
On their way back through Leamington, some of them dropped into The Fold – the newly opened, flexible, creative working space recently opened in the old United Reform Church on Spencer Street. What an impressive space it now is – though perhaps a little pricey for us to use as a MIRTH command centre,
Once back at the Newbold Comyn Leisure Centre, they declined the opportunity to hone their bodies even more and settled for a fine good value Seniors Lunch at the Rugby Tavern.
