Last updated: Tue 24 January 2012 === ALL OFFERS IN - THANK YOU All details are in one day early, thanks to everyone for 58 walks. === WALKERS ARE VERY WELCOME - WE HOPE! Ramblers CO have been busy identifying reasons why members leave the organisation. Most of you can guess the main ones but one in which we can all have a hand is that people leave because they were not made to feel welcome. We hope that in South Cots we do quite well in this area, but it is always worth remembering to welcome any new members and make sure that somebody speaks to them during the walk. === DO YOU MEASURE UP? With the introduction of our new shorter walks the length of the walk is becoming more critical. We cannot advertise a short walk and then add on even half a mile. People come prepared for a certain distance bringing the appropriate amount of water and food. If you have any doubts about the length of your walk you can always contact Mike who will check it out on his computer. === SHORT SOCIABLE START THE WEEK WALKS - ON MONDAYS In order to provide a more comprehensive programme of walks to meet the needs of all walkers we are about to introduce a series of short (no more than 4 miles), easy paced sociable walks suitable for:- 1/ Those who are new to Ramblers and wish to build up their confidence and fitness before joining us on our other walks. 2/ Those who have been on Health Walks who want to move on to something slightly longer (but no longer than 4 miles). 3/ Existing members for whom our normal walks programme is becoming too strenuous. 4/ Anybody who wants to amble rather than ramble, stop to admire the countryside, walk and talk, and possibly finish up with a half of shandy. === WELCOME TO PROSPECTIVE LEADERS If you are playing with the idea of leading us a walk and haven't led before, please have an informal chat with one of us first. Perhaps you could team up with someone else to lead and back-mark together! Mike Garner - Walks Programme Coordinator 01453 873625 === OBSTRUCTED PATHS Problems have been experienced recently with walks in the Severn Vale along the river corridor. The overall standard of footpath maintenance is not good and there are a number of blocked footpaths. If you are thinking putting on a walk in this area it is worth doing a walk over as close as possible to the date of the walk. Mike Garner - Walks Programme Coordinator Richard Davis - Chairman
