NEW MEMBERS
We welcome the following new members -
Francis.O'Sullivan, William Rynne & Kenneth Longworh
to the Club and hope they will enjoy their walks with us.
COMMITTEE 1987/88
It may seem early days to be thinking about the election of a new Committee to run your Club. Don't forget if you don't like the way things are run, or you have any ideas which would profit the running of the Club, this is your opportunity to do something about it.
There are'only four Committee meetings a year usually on a Saturday
afternoon or to suit the majority of members. Please.give this matter some thought because when the next list comes out we shall be looking for nominations.
SWEAT SHIRTS
Now that Spring is here and are shedding our winter woolies,we how about a Club Sweat Shirt? We have a few left - anyone interested contact' the Secretary.
RAMBLES
These last few weeks we have had very good turn out on most of the rambles. This is very encouraging to the leaders who spend quite a lot of time organising these walks for our enjoyment.
DO's and DONT'S
Now that summer is here and we shall be walkinq across fields with growing crops, please do remember to walk single file if the path is narrow to avoid damage to crops. We hope the really muddy season is past, but just in case it is not, would members please be careful about taking mud into Pubs on their boots. (A couple of polythene bags are very handy to slip on over your boots and not a lot of trouble to carry.)
