Tawe Trekkers Newsletter 31st October 2010

...and so the season changes and darkness descends, but do not fear the Trekkers will continue to stride their stuff through the winter months. This week brings us two short walks, an AGM and our regular pub night.


Glamorgan Area Ramblers AGM - Saturday 6th November

This year we are hosting the Glamorgan Area Ramblers AGM in the Mumbles so it would be great if we could have a good turn out from the Trekkers contingent. We'll be extending a warm welcome to all clubs from the Glamorgan Area!

Where and when?

We will meet at Oystermouth Square carpark (adjacent to Boots in the Mumbles) at 10.30am for a leisurely 4 mile stroll around Mumbles Head before returning for the start of the AGM at 2pm .

The AGM will be held in Victoria Hall, 6 Dunns Lane (just off Mumbles Road). Graham has very kindly arranged for a guest speaker to do a talk for us at the meeting. Dr Roger Wade should be making an appearance at around 2 to speak about energy options and climate change, a subject that I'm sure most people would agree is interesting and relevant. It would be great to get as many Trekkers as possible to lend support to the event, and any volunteers for tea/coffee making, or even a bit of cake/biscuit baking will be much appreciated!!!

If you require any further details please give Doug a call on 07766652837.

Lliw Reservoir moonlight walk - Saturday 6th November


Ruth will venturing around the Lower Lliw Reservoir in Felindre to take full advantage of the full moon. No doubt there will be a stop off at a pub afterwards. Please bring torches or other suitable lanterns!

Meeting point: 7.30 pm at Lower Lliw Reservoir car park which is accessed from the road between Felindre and Rhyd-y-Pandy, three miles north from M4 Junction 46 (please contact Ruth if you need more specific details).

Distance: 1-2 miles

Grade: Easy

For more details please contact Ruth on 07929147215.

Regular pub night - Thursday 4th November

It's our regular meet up at the Brunswick pub from 8pm. Please could we endeavour to get there between 8-8.30pm as I know the last couple of weeks a few of us have turned up at different times and managed to miss each other!

Thanks, I think that's it for this week.
