We initially had a good response from walk leaders but we still have 3 Mondays (Jan 6th &20th and Feb 10th), 7 Wednesdays and 8 Saturdays to fill so it doesn’t look like there will be many walks in the next quarter.

You can find them on the Walk Planning Progress page on the Leaders menu or HERE.  Get in early and get the most convenient dates. Please reserve your dates by 18 November. It makes it easier for us if you can do so by this date. Many thanks. Sally

You should have received a copy of this by email from either Ros or Janet but I have now added it to the website. You can find it under Walks, Walks Programme. Don’t forget to check our message board for last minute changes/problems. We can alter the information on the Ramblers main website but it…

Thanks to a clerical error on my part, the latest email sent out to you with the Printable table of walks for October to the end of the year stated that the AGM was on 25th. It isn’t, it’s Saturday 23. Sally

I have been contacted by the Community Support Officer at Cotswold District Council to ask if any of our members would be interested in leading Well Being walks of 10 – 60 minutes . Please contact me on the contact email address on the website if you feel this is something you may be interested…

Several people have shown interest in getting their Emergency Contact cards (for South Cots members to carry in their rucksacks in case of an Emergency) laminated on the laminator that Keith bought from a charity shop for a fiver. As we need to do 4 at a time, we reckon the easiest way to coordinate…

If any walk leaders are thinking about leading a walk from barrow Wake the car park is closed for 30 weeks, the access road is still available for parking. It’s something to do with the road works.

You can set up an emergency contact number on your phone for someone to call (friend, family member) on your behalf without the need to know your password or screen lock. It doesn’t call 999, just the person you have nominated. HERE are the instructions. Ask if you need any help. Sally

Ramblers members can get this discount by going to ramblers.org.uk/offers-and-promotions then click on the OS link and enter code RAMOSM at the checkout.  There are details about this on p.10 of the latest Walk magazine. Sally

We now have Janet helping Ros in her job as Membership Secretary. There is quite a lot of work involved (mainly caused by Ramblers Head Office’s unfriendly bureaucracy) so it is good to have someone else to share the load. The 99% of you who receive communication by email should have received the next walks…

If you are a leader who doesn’t have a pre-organised backmarker who knows your route but rely on a volunteer in the car park beforehand, it would be very helpful if you could give them a copy of the map of your route so they know where you are going. Another option for people who…

Pathwatch, the mobile phone app supported by Ramblers that enabled us to take a photo of a problem on a footpath and send it directly to Ramblers head office and to the Public Rights of Way officer giving the co-ordinates of the location, has now gone. There is a link on our website under Footpaths,…
