Meet up for a local Buggy Walk on Wednesdays
PILTON BUGGY WALK: Meet outside Royston Community Centre for circular walk 10am every Wednesday until the 30th November.
We have changed the meet up point for Pilton to the community centre at Wardieburn as an experiment as it may be more appealing and we will do a circuit from there, through the streets around taking in a few green spaces and circling back to the community centre for a cuppa, chat and baby changing and so on. Hope to see you there!
You can just turn up or sign up at:
