The Committee positions are: Treasurer, Secretary, Ramble List Compiler, Membership & Publicity Secretary, Social Secretary and Catering Representative. As I am bowing out at the A.G.M. I must take this opportunity of putting into print what a supportive and harmonious Committee I have had to work with and to thank them all personally for the sacrifice of their time & energy and their tolerance of those of us who are not always appreciative and positively supportive of their efforts. Thanks to Richard Chill & others who have helped with this mailing - we value your help enormously.
OTHER EVENTS: Saturday, November 7th at 6 pm the Annual Mass for the deceased members of the Club will be offered in Westminster Cathedral . Please come if at all possible. Paul Brunning will be locating a suitable place for us all to for a meal together after the Mass and we are going to have our monthly meal out together in future on the first Saturday of each month, meeting outside the Cathedral after this 6 o'clock Hass. Henceforth the Friday evening meals will cease. So for this session the dates will be: Sep. 5th, Oct. 3rd, Nov. 7th, & presumably Dec. 5th.
Peter Lobo and Tony Finnegan are arranging a Study Evening to help us to learn how to LEAD RAMBLES as new Leaders are desperately needed.
A Video from the Ramblers Association will be shown & Phil Evans will give
some further guidance. The venue is PETER L0BO's, please phone beforehand to confirm this; his address is on page opposite. The date is: Saturday, November 28th and there will be light refreshments.

My apologies for any mistakes or imperfections in this mailing. It is always
produced under pressure, mainly because the ramble list is compiled at the
eleventh hour. It would make a vast difference to the well-being of
committee members if ramble leaders would come forward early on and pass the required information to Philip at least one month before the expiry of the current list. See over-leaf for the appropriate form...
Have you led a ramble yet? Please don't always leave it to the seasoned leaders. New ramble leaders are always welcome - if you know a route which could be used fill up the details below and
send them to:
