Summer Programme
The Summer Programme has
just been printed and will be distributed over the next two weeks or so. You will be
aware that at the AGM in November we agreed that from the NEXT programme, Winter
2014/15, distribution will be by email though members who prefer will still get
a paper copy. Also, we will be experimenting with this summer’s edition,
in terms of in what format to send out the programme, obtaining more email
addresses, delivering as many by hand, establishing who would still want a
paper version, etc.
So, please let myself,
Malc or Sue know what you think.
Bad weather advice
With the saturated ground
and bad weather we have had over the past two months the question of cancelling
walks has come up again. The first rule is that if you’re not sure, check
with the Walk Leader. And bear in mind that an 8 mile walk over saturated
ground, with greasy stiles could feel like 10 - 12 miles. Next, if the
Police and/or Highways Authorities are saying only essential travel, then the
walk will be cancelled.
It is the Leader who has the
discretion to cancel the walk depending how bad the weather is and the ground
conditions are. He or she would check with Malc and or me before a
cancellation. We would amend the web-site, if we have time, update this Blog and
phone around. Someone will try to get to the start point to give the bad
news to the one or two who will always slip through the net.
