sure that nobody gets lost and that all gates are closed behind the leader. The Committee also assists with running off the lists and magazine and licking the stamps! A member may also have a specific responsibility, e.g. Compiler of Ramble Lists.
If' you yourself enjoy Club activities, please try and give just one ·year to helping other people to enjoy them also.

The ladies also prepare and serve tea on Tuesdays and the gentlemen help with putting the record equipment out and away again.

There will not be a bottle stall his year, but any bottles suitable for raffling or small prizes would·be welcome. Small bottles filled w;Lth sweets, toys or children's books for the children's stall or Lucky Dip would also be useful.
