Healthy Walks are a round the year programme of walks that
provide an enjoyable way to improve your health and fitness.
Participants are encouraged to walk briskly. For health
benefits you should breath more deeply and feel warmer when
you walk.
Please choose the grading and length
of time your selected walk takes carefully and according to
your ability. If you are a novice walker please choose MOD 1
or less.
Although we do attempt to keep to the timing, a degree of
flexibility is needed. Stops for coffee are usually half and
hour. All ages can participate in Healthy Walks, but a
parent or carer must supervise walkers under 14. No dogs
unless stated otherwise - except assistance dogs; they must
be kept on a lead. Be sure to wear suitable clothing and
footwear, also bring some drinking water.
With 140,000 visitors each year, the 2008 Show, 3rd – 6th
July, is committed to promoting the best of British farming
as well as providing an excellent family day out with
action-packed entertainment for the whole family!

Scratch is a confident musician with
an extensive music genre consisting of rock, reggae, blues,

Surrey. Jane grew up within a musical family: both parents
played the piano & her father Roy Berry was awarded 3 Ivor
Novello awards during his music publishing career.
Jane’s father was a strong influence
in her early years: she started piano lessons at six and
graduated to learning the cello to Grade VII by the time she
was 14, together with developing an interest in singing.
Lead vocalist in the school choir ,
then formed an amateur pop band at the age of 20. She
also provides vocals for a ten-piece soul and blues
functions band, "Orange", and since recently rediscovering
the keyboards she is developing these skills in various
other bands also.
Throughout the school holidays, Elmbridge
