Friday Fun @ the Canal - 20 February

Rotary Navigation Walk - 19 April

The walk is for everyone who wishes to join the Mirfield Rotary Club in raising funds for the four Hospices which provide excellent service to the public of Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield namely, Overgate Hospice, Kirkwood Hospice, Wakefield Hospice and the Forget Me Not Children's Hospice. Each Hospice will receive an equal share of whatever money is raised by the event.  This year's walk is being extended and will now incorporate the Rotary Club of Huddersfield.  The walk is almost exclusively on the tow-paths of the Hebble, Calder, Huddersfield Narrow and Broad Canals.  For more information visit the Rotary Navigation Walk.

Nature Walk - 21 February 2015

Colleagues in Groundwork and CRT are organising a Nature Walk along the canal, starting at the Library in Mirfield at 10 am on 21 February.  The walk will be led by Russ Hedley of Nature Talks and Walks.  Places are limited - and so you will need to book early.  To book a place call Jane Halladay on 0113 2380601.
