Tawe Trekkers Newsletter - 20th Dec 2010

We've been having some pretty bad weather lately (as if that needs saying!). Last night the snow stopped some people from getting to the Christmas Meal at Truffle :-( but those who did make it had a very enjoyable time. Thank you, Tyra, for organising a wonderful evening for us, even though you were not able to make it yourself!

I'd like to propose another meal in the New Year to (at least partially) make up for the problems caused this time around. I'm thinking of a date of Sat 22nd Jan, an

d a curry, though if anyone has any other preferences for date/venue then please let me know.

New Year Trip to the Peak District - 31st Dec

Next weekend we have our New Year trip to the Peak District. I don't think there's a lot more to be said for this as Emyr and Trudi have done such a good job in making arrangements thus far. Chris Price also has some walks planned and he is proposing to do longer and shorter options depending on preference/ability.

If you've got any questions about the trip, or you're not sure about lifts/what your travel arrangements are then please call Emyr on 07846 879210 or Trudi on 07807 726441.

Programme Meeting and AGM - Thursday 13th Jan, 7.30 @ The Vivs in Sketty

There's no pub night planned this week, b

ut it's worth mentioning that on the Thursday 13th Jan we will have our Programme Planning Meeting and AGM, where we will be putting together the next programme of walks and electing the new committee. New year, new start!

Most people will probably know already, but I, for one, wish to step down from my committee post of Chair this year, and give someone else a chance. Someone, hopefully, with fresh ideas and renewed energy! I'm more than happy to talk about the role of to anyone who might be interested in taking it over, to help as much as I can in handing it over to a new person, and would encourage people to stand for this, and all other available positions.

That said, I still wish to be involved on the TT committee - but in more of a supporting capacity. It's about time someone else had a go at Chair though! :-)

More details on this to follow so watch this space - in the meantime have a think about if you'd like to get involved in the New Year.
