It’s that time of year again when we trick/persuade/encourage/invite people to join the committee!
We are what is classed as a flexigroup by the ramblers. What this means is we don’t have a geographical area to look after. Our main activity is organising guided walks, with the aim to encourage and support young members’ (20’s, 30’s, & 40’s) interest in walking.
What and how much we do is up to the new committee as we are a member led organisation.
It would be very useful for the committee if members of our group could feedback what type of walks they have enjoyed, what we may need to improve or what kind of socials you would like to see us organise in the future. So please don’t hesitate to get in touch to let us know what you think.
This year we will be doing a walk in the Grasmere area before the AGM and after the hike, we will hold the AGM over a coffee/beer in the Traveller’s Rest in Grasmere.
Date: Saturday 29 October 2022
Time: 4:15pm
Location: The Traveller’s Rest, Grasmere, Cumbria, LA22 9RR
Please contact Nathalie on 0751 8479 409 or email summittgoodrambling@gmail.com if you have any issues that you want brought up or you would like to join the committee but can’t be there on the day.
Agenda
1. Approval of last year’s AGM report and any matters arising
2. Presentation and approval of accounts
3. Election of committee members
4. Discussion of motions – any submitted (please respond to this email if you have any motions)
5. Nomination of Council delegates (not vital but if anyone wants to represent us at the Ramblers AGM this is the official way)
6. Any other business
If you want to chuck your hat in the ring for the committee but can’t join in on the day, please emailsummittgoodrambling@gmail.com
All roles are up for nomination and a vote.
So, as things stand with the current committee, Nathalie Williams is willing to carry on as Chairperson for another year (but also happy to step down if someone else would like to be Chairperson), Miles Saunders-Priem has volunteered to take over from Nathalie as Walk Co-ordinator. Matthew Stanton is willing to continue as Treasurer for one more year but also more than happy to step aside for a willing victim/volunteer. Stephen Hessey is willing to continue as Secretary (but also happy to step down if someone else would like to be Secretary). Lesley Ward is happy to continue as Social Events Planner. Diane Hodgson is stepping down as Web Editor and Leanne Fletcher has volunteered to take over the role.
If you are interested in joining the committee but uncertain of the role, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
We can email you the role profiles.
The legal minimum to form a committee and keep the club going is (and they have to be members of the Ramblers) :
1. Chairperson
2. Secretary
3. Treasurer
We also find it really helps to have the following roles (these can be ramblers or associated members):
1. Walks Co-ordinator
2. Web editor/master
3. Social events planner
Thank you for your support and we look forward to your feedback and possibly seeing you in person at the AGM!
