Severnside Ramblers
Walks Programme 2008/2009
This year we have put on a record number of walks which in the main were very well attended, and records of people attending a single walk were broken. This started with the walk from Clearwell led by Gill King, which boasted 36 ramblers. The Tortworth Snow Drops walk in February, the non member walking day, broke this record and had 52 walkers despite the cold and frost, but this record did not last for long because when the Bluebells showed their blooms David had a mammoth 56 people walking around Prior Woods.
We have a good number of walk leaders who put walks on the programme on a regular basis and others who can be called on if we need to fill in spaces on the walks programme; these include one or two regular walk leaders who are from other groups. However, we always manage to fill the walks programme and give a good variety of walks that cover a wide rang of abilities; hence we try to please everyone, some of the time.
This year left us without a walk programme co-ordinator and despite advertising no one has come forward. Although I have done it for the past year, with support from Jean Aellen, I have found it very difficult to fit it in with other things I am involved with, and I would like someone to take it over, either in its present form or to redesign it. It is a very rewarding and important part of the group structure and whoever comes forward will need to have broadband access to the web site, and will be given all the help and support they need. So if you would like to give it a go, or know someone who would be interested, please contact either myself or Jean.
At the beginning of November there was a map and compass reading course led by Janet and Ken. This was a huge success with 16 people applying for the eight places. It was enjoyed by all who took part and everyone came away feeling that they had learned quite a lot, so we hope to run this again early next year.
