Wednesday 30th September 2026. Eddie’s Memorial Walk
It was a good turnout today, eleven of our group attending this memorial walk at Golden Acre Park, a location on the far reaches of the city of Leeds. It was seven years to the day since our dear friend Eddie sadly passed away. We do this walk in his memory, it was here that he took his last walk with us Lads.
So Alan, Keith, John, Derek, Dave, Brian, Colin, John Howarth, Don Alexander, Kevin and Mark took part in this annual event, all meeting up at golden acre at about 11:45. It was a pleasant late morning, surprisingly warm for this time of year, after the usual handshakes we then proceeded with our walk splitting off into various groups as we slowly made our way to one of Eddies favourite viewing spots.
Time for a moment of reflection here in one of the bird hides, but sadly on this occasion there were no wildlife birds to be seen, forces of nature taking it’s toll with no feeding permitted at this present time, also the absence of water was another factor, shame a disappointment to us all. Nevertheless we continued with our journey around the far side of the main lake heading back towards the on site cafe for some refreshments etc. With our various choice’s to hand we now gathered in a suitable seating area and began more group conversations, mainly about upcoming events, next outings and the Christmas Meal arrangements etc.
Almost 30 minutes passed before it was time to say farewell to Golden Acre Park and our memories of Eddie, we now slowly departed taking our various journeys homeward bound by either car, bus or on foot.
Cheers Everyone for talking part today.
