Current Activities
The Bush Club continues to provide walks to its members. Members from within the club suggest and volunteer to lead specific walks, which are then advertised to the membership in a quarterly newsletter. Walks are rated from one star (easiest) to 4 star (hardest) and special 'Less Active Walkers' walks suitable for older, less active members are offered. Special 'Take It Easy' walks are also offered. These are walks of all difficulty levels deliberately taken at a slower pace, the aim of which is to encourage less fit members to try more difficult walks. The club also undertakes canyoning activities in the summer months.
As of August 2008 the club has approximately 600 active members and reported offering 383 walks in the year ended June 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or activities:
“Liberty, as it is conceived by current opinion, has nothing inherent about it; it is a sort of gift or trust bestowed on the individual by the state pending good behavior.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
