Available to purchase Walking stick/seat The extra aid to getting out and about!! The sticks provide a steadying aid and support whilst walking, then they fold out to form a substantial seat to sit on. They are lightweight yet strong enough to take anyone up to 23 ½ stones. Recommendation comes from numerous previous purchasers from SMEG!!! Several say “I would never go anywhere without it”, some are even internationally travelled. Indeed our own previous chairman took his sightseeing around Scotland with him recently. There are two designs:   Popular Seat Height: 18in/460mm Walking Height: 33in/840mm Approx Weight: 27oz/750gm £25 for SMEG members (virtually wholesale) £30 for non-members: (including postage)     Maxi Seat Height: 22.5in/575mm Walking Height: 33in/840mm Approx Weight: 29oz/810gm £25 for SMEG member: (Trade price) £30 for non-members: (including postage)   Both models can be manufactured longer, the seat remains the same height, just the walking height is increased. Please note: Members may have seen similar products at much the same price or even slightly cheaper, however experience has proved that these are of inferior quality and neither so sturdy or durable. This is why we choose to purchase this make for our members. There is also an upgraded version of the stick/seat. This has a removable ferrule on the legs which reveals a 2” spike making them ideal for outdoor use on soft ground. The ferrules can be replaced for hard ground and indoor use. The cost for these will be £26 to S.M.E.G. members and £31 to non-members. For details of who to contact regarding these items see Regular Reminders on the front page in your latest copy of Hermes.
