To celebrate this milestone the group met at Burrill Lake Lions Park on Thursday March 18 for a brisk walk, before settling down for an enjoyable, social sausage sizzle, coffee and a chat, while many perused the array of photo books on display, that tell a story of the group's history.
Many thanks to the barbecue chefs, John Evans, and Stan Izzard.
More than 30 walkers enjoyed the morning, including eight people who, over the years, have each, clocked up more than 1,000 walks.
Several of the walkers have been with the group for most of these 12 years, while others have joined 'along the way'.
Group organisers, Dorothy, and Tony Gerzanics organise a varied and interesting walk schedule each month, as well as several social events throughout the year.
Walks are held five mornings a week Monday-Friday meeting at 7.50am; with a coffee and a chat after each Monday and Friday walks.
Heart Foundation Walking For Health Program
The Happy Feet walkers are a group of mainly mature aged men and women, where age and fitness level are no barrier, as all walkers are encouraged to walk at their own pace, while mingling and enjoying the company of others.
This group is part of the Heart Foundations' walking for health program, and anyone who is new to the area, or just looking for a friendly group to join is welcome to come along and check us out.
Details of the walks are available by contacting Dorothy or Tony on 4455 6162.
