Valeways 30 Year Celebration
To celebrate 30 years of Valeways activities, the Trustees have decided to hold a special
event to mark the occasion.
On Sunday 31st May, three walks of varying levels will set off from Wenvoe Community
Centre, each timed to finish together. This will be followed by refreshments and a short
period of reminiscence about the past 30 years of Valeways. Details of the programme are
below.
