The name "Peregrine" was suggested by one of the original members, well-known bird illustrator, Nicolas Day. As our newsletter editor explained: "Peregrines are often seen gliding effortlessly over land and coast, where we planned to walk" and "A peregrine is also a pilgrim or wanderer, an appropriate description for our activities." We have two programs: the 'Other Activities' program (monthly events such as bike rides, kayaking, overnight hikes, base camps etc), and the 'Tuesday Walks' (weekly all-day walks), with each having its own planning committee. Most of our regular Tuesday walkers are retired folk. Traditionally we have a mid-year lunch together after our AGM; a Melbourne Cup day BBQ; a 'Tuesday Walks' Christmas BBQ; and a Club Christmas Dinner. We also participate as a club in numerous local re-vegetation planting days.
