Dear Ramblers,
Many thanks to those members who contributed walks to the programmes that were produced at short notice because of the FMD crisis, and to all those who came to both the emergency meetings.
It's been a sad beginning of Spring for farmers and ramblers alike with the outbreak of FMD. It makes us realise how fragile our environment can be. The following websites have so far been the best (apart from our own website which is the very best) for current information and wcalks:
www.walkingworld.com ;
www.openbritain.gov.uk ;
www.britishwaterways.co.uk;
www.open.visitbritain.com; and
www.english-heritage.org.uk.
Would be grateful to receive any other addresses that you think might be useful to the SFACRC members.
Welcome to new members:
Paul Rowntree, Streatham; Keith Evans, Camberwell Green; Julie Mastenko, Surbiton; and Gavin Fowells, London E1.
Advice to new members: Please read your introductory leaflet carefully, especiaHy about wearing suitable footwear with ankle support for your own safety, and maintaining good relations with pub owners by not eating our own food on their premises.

Bames silver jubilee: Many thanks for your generosity for his collection - we were able to buy a beautiful framed image of Christ in solid silver and a plaque with his name and the name of our club engraved on it, which we presented to him on Saturday 28th April.

RAMBLE LIST AND NEWS
COPY DATE FOR THE NEXT PROGRAMME: 20 July 2001
Thank you to everyone who under the current difficult circumstances has helped to make this programme possible. Until there is a clear and unequivocal confirmation from Government, that access to footpaths in the countryside is
allowed once more, we will have to work on the premise that the next programme needs to be produced in the same fashion as this one. It is frustrating but we must strive to ensure that
there is something happening every weekend.
Don't forget that the summer train times will be in effect throughout this programme. Please bear with the leaders if there is any variation to what is shown as the new times were not available during the preparation of this programme.
