Big Buggy Walk

Join WNPC at the Annual BIG BUGGY WALK.

Thursday, 1st October 2009. The Dell, Botanic Gardens, Glenmore Street.

Festivities begin 10am; buggy walk begins 10.30am.

Spot prizes and giveaways – Wellington won this year’s Golden Foot award for these walks!

Bring a rug and we’ll have a PICNIC after the walk – we’ll provide some refreshments.

If you’d like to come, an RSVP to Monique would be useful for catering purposes, but isn’t essential.

It would be great to see you on the day.

Join our Facebook group and ‘meet’ the Committee members who will be there
