The Newsletter

MARCH 2020 UPDATE: A “Living with COVID-19” category has been added to the newsletter. All posts to this new category, which will also be linked from the group’s public Facebook page, are NOT from official IOG activities, and should be viewed as reports from our friends within the group making the most of their own private walks, abiding by the relevant coronavirus guidance. They are intended as a diversion for readers, whilst the IOG’s outdoor activities remain suspended.

This is the new venue where members and potential members of the Ipswich Outdoor Group can read about recent events, share news that is relevant to group interests but not appropriate for group emails, write about group initiatives – anything from charity fund-raising to activism aimed at keeping our footpaths open – present opinion editorials on issues close to their hearts, post classified ads, cartoons, pictures or anything else that occurs. Unlike the old Newsletter, it will be updated as and when new material comes to hand and, as this is a work in progress, it will be formatted as we go along and get an idea of what is required. Feel free to offer suggestions if any occur to you.

For the moment, content is divided into three categories: reports of past doings; announcements about upcoming events or issues of note, whether IOG instigated or particularly related to IOG interests; and classifieds, where you can advertise items for sale, for rent, or wanted.

Please send your entries to newsletter@ipswichoutdoor.org

David Bird’s soup kitchen – Sunday 26th February 2017

Contributed by Christine Bail On 26th February, 21 IOGers and 4 well-behaved dogs joined David on a local walk, starting from his cottage in Stonham. It felt great to be outside, breathing in the fresh unpolluted mid-Suffolk air and seeing signs of spring everywhere: numerous hares on …

A Circular Walk around Martlesham – Sunday 12th February 2017
