A reminder that this Friday evening, we are proud to be joining forces with the Pebblebed Heaths Conservation Trust to host the Reclaim the Night: Otter Estuary Walk for Women – and we'd love as many BSCC members as possible to come along and show their support!
The evening will begin at 6pm at The Holt with a special performance by the Budleigh Salterton Women's Choir, before we set off on an approximately 3km lantern-lit walk around the Otter Estuary Nature Reserve, returning to the club afterwards, where the bar will be open for drinks and refreshments and pasties and sausage rolls will be available.
This special event celebrates the right of women and girls to enjoy our beautiful countryside freely, safely and confidently after dark. It also highlights the safety concerns that can prevent women and girls from enjoying outdoor spaces during the winter months – creating an unofficial 'winter curfew'.
Organised as part of the Trust's Pebblebeds for All project, the walk builds on the success of last year's event and reflects our club's commitment to championing opportunities for women and girls through sport and within our wider community.
Everyone is welcome! Although the walk focuses on women's experiences, this is an event for the whole community.
The club will also be holding a collection after the walk for Brave Spaces Exeter, a fantastic project supporting women affected by domestic abuse, sexual violence, homelessness and trauma.
Please come along this Friday, bring your friends and family, and help us light the way towards safer, more welcoming outdoor spaces for everyone. See you at The Holt at 6pm.
