Severnside Ramblers
Report from the Chairman
Severnside have had a good year with a good number of walks offered and most were well attended.
We introduced the shorter Sunday walks, which take place about once a month. This was requested at last year’s AGM and these have been very successful with more than an average turn out of walkers.
The Friday Ambles continue to flourish and the monthly Saturday walks are also still, very well supported.
Of course without walk leaders there would be no walks, so I would like to say ‘Thank you’ to every one who has led a walk this year, please continue to do so.
We had a new website created by Ken Mill who keeps it up to date with the latest group information.
Socially, Severnside has been more active during this year, with a successful Christmas Lunch, which was a sell out, arranged by Gill King; a Bideford Weekend that attracted 28 people, arranged by Jenny and John who also led the walks and arranged evening activities to ensure everyone had a full and enjoyable time. A fund-raising Quiz night was hosted by Gill and Chris Roberts. Also a fund-raising skittles evening, not only hosted by Chris Everett and Andy but they also had a clean sweep and won both Games.
Many thanks to all the above for these events, and for their dedication to Severnside. A special thank you to Chris who donated her skittles winnings to Group funds.
The Festival of Winter Walks, the non members walk and the Get Walking Day walk all boasted an exceptional turn out, and will be difficult to match this year, but we will give it a go.
Many people have joined us on our walks, these included new walkers, people from other Ramblers groups, including the Isle of Wight, and a couple from Canada who were in Bristol for the birth of their second grandchild. They had walked with us three years ago when they were here for their first grandchild, we look forward to seeing them again when they return for the third.
Most, if not all of the people that joined our walks, either visiting or new walker/member, did so because of Jill Field’s excellent advertising, which she built from scratch over 18 months. Unfortunately Jill has now retired from our committee to further her education in her career. I am sure every one joins me in saying ‘Thank You Jill for your enthusiasm, hard work and dedication to Severnside, and we wish you well in your studies’.
All of the committee members have taken on roles and done them in a professional and efficient manner, and all of Severnside members join me in saying thank you to each of them.
