These are one-off events for all LALG members - the activities don't belong to any individual Group.

Moon Walk – Longest Trip
We have a rare opportunity to sponsor one LALG member on NASA’s next moon-landing in July 2029, to mark the 60th anniversary of the first human landing. Nominations must be received by 1 April 2026. If successful in a year-long selection process, you will join a two-year training programme in Washington DC.

Open Water Swimming 2025
We are arranging an induction/introduction to open water swimming at Redricks Lakes, Sawbridgeworth, once the temperature of the lake is at least 14°C. Cost is £16 (to be confirmed) (plus £10 if you need to hire a wet suit). The session includes current rules for swimming at the lake; health and safety overview; acclimatisation; overcoming anxiety and panic; building confidence; basic skills and techniques for swimming in open water; and a final question-and-answer session. Members completing the induction have the opportunity to swim with one of our Linked Organisations, Letchworth Open Water Swimming (see page 51).
