Newsletter - Brecon/Programme Meet/Jo's Walk/Committee Positions
Hi there all,
There's a few items this week, and all important ones so please take note if you want to be kept 'in the loop' (cringe). If you would like come on the Brecon Weekend on 11th May, if you would like to be our new Programme or Social Secretary, or if you want to have a say on walks for our Spring Programme which will start in April then read on! Oh and mustn't forget there's the small matter of next Saturday's walk!

Brecon Weekend - Full Payment Needed by 10th April
We need to provide full payment to the Canal Barn Bunkhouse by 10th April at the latest. Cost will be £15 per night per person (£30 for the two nights).
If you want to secure a place but don't want to pay the whole amount up front then you can pay a 50%/£15 deposit. As long as full payment is received by 1oth April. Cheques to be made payable to 'Tawe Trekkers,' and given to Doug or Rob. If you are unable to give in person you can post to: Doug Morgan, 100 Bryn Road, Brynmill, Swansea, SA2 0AT.
Here's a link to Canal Barn's Website; http://www.canal-barn.co.uk/, and if you need persuading about whether to come on this trip (which will be so truly mindblowingly amazing that you might end up with brain damage), give me, Doug, a call on 07766652837.

We Need Programme and Social Secretaries, Any Volunteers?!
We need to fill these two positions on the Committee due to the previous volunteers, Lindsey and Martin, moving on (after admirable service to the club, I should say). As our AGM isn't going to be until November, these positions will be 'co-opted' onto the committee in the meantime. If you would like to take on one of these roles then it will be good fun for you, it will give you a say on the direction of the club, and look good on your CV!
To put your name forward please contact...
Jo, our distinguished Chairperson, the voice of sense and prudence, a wise queen-like figure, on 07811654826,
Doug, the Secretary, the grafter, the man at the front line in the centre of all the action, on 07766652837, or...
Rob, not just a Treasurer, but an endless fountain of wisdom and knowledge, the voice of reason and experience, on 07990807510
My own take on the roles is that the Programme Secretary post would suit people who like organising and co-ordinating, writing walk descriptions and being a source of information. Knowledge of the local surroundings and routes might help, but isn't essential!
The Social Secretary role would suit people who are sociable, talkative, and like organising events. If you're an an affable social animal who likes to mix with crowds then this could be ideal for you.
Most importantly though, there's a lot of scope to develop and expand the roles as you see fit!

Programme Meeting - Vivian Pub, Sketty, Thurs 22nd Mar @1930
Yes it's that time again when we need to start thinking about putting the next programme of walks together.
Please, please, please, we need walk leaders and walk routes for the next programme so if you have any ideas or want to lead a walk, please bring them along with you to the meeting at the Viv's or preferably, contact Doug before hand. If you would like to get involved but are unsure and want to talk about it, then again get in touch. Most people underestimate their ability to lead walks and find their way around, so don't be shy! Obviously if you're inexperienced you wouldn't want to lead a polar expedition or anything, but there are plenty of straightforward, low risk routes available that would suit people wanting to get in to walk leading. I (Doug) have a worse sense of direction than David Blunkett on a Waltzer, but still manage to get by with map and directions!
Call me for more info, and even if you don't want to lead a walk then all are still welcome to turn up to the meeting.
NOTE: This meeting replaces the usual social meet at the Brunswick, and will take place in the Vivian in Sketty instead as we have use of their committee room.

And last but not least, here's a message from Jo about her walk this Saturday!
Walk Saturday 10th March 2007 - Black Mountain/Carmarthen
This is an 8 mile hike which goes to the top of Mynydd Du, aka Carmarthen Fan. The walk is uphill all the way and crosses open ground, past woodland and across a river, close to the source of the river Usk. The ascent up to the top of the ridge is steep and it is very exposed. Views from the top are in all directions and stunning on a clear day, including Llyn y Fan Fawr (a lake, for non Welsh speakers!).
This is a moderate/strenuous walk. Although not long, it is a lot of uphill, with a steep climb up to the ridge, and the whole route is very exposed. Please bring warm, appropriate and waterproof gear, including waterproof trousers. Do not wear jeans.
Usual meeting place, County Hall Car Park, ready to leave at 9.30am. Alternatively, you can meet us at Glasfynydd car park, grid ref SN 820271, at 10.30am.
Please contact Jo on 472302 or 07811 654826 if you would like more info. Look forward to seeing you there!

Phew! Well that's it for the time being. Hope some of you get back to us on the items above. I probably won't be at the walk on Saturday...but don't let that put you off!! It's a fantastic route that Jo will be doing, and yes the last picture really is of Carmarthen Fan, nice isn't it? Hope you have a great one guys.
Remember it's pub night on Thursday, all the best and see you soon!
Doug
