It isn’t just a walk, it’s a chance to get active, have fun with friends and make a real di erence to the Club. e walk takes place in the ancient private woods of the Beaulieu Estate and nishes at the Tree House. Every walker who nishes, whether they chose to do the long, medium or short walk receives a well-earned medal, a refreshing drink and a delicious selection of homemade cakes. As always, every year, regardless of the weather, many of the Waterside Gateway Club members, friends and family turn up to take part, and this year was no exception and they couldn’t wait to get started. Everyone worked really hard and put in great e orts to drum up sponsorship for the walk. e Club has been truly blown away by their sponsorship e orts, and the sponsorship funds that have been secured will go a long way to helping the Waterside Gateway Club. Well done everyone! e Club would like to give a special ‘shout out’ to e Waterside Gateway Club walkers with their medals Glen in Butts Ash Hythe, and one of the pub regulars who gave a very generous donation to the Club.
