Ferryside Walk - Sun 23rd Jan

On Sunday, Robert (Bob) will be leading a walk on the Tywi estuary in Carmarthenshire. Much of the route is on quiet roads and farm tracks; however there are a few places that are very boggy so waterproof boots are essential if you don’t want wet feet. The route encompasses about 7.5 miles of pleasant countryside and views over Afon Tywi. (The photo shows a picture taken from a similar walk that we did in 2008).

Meet at County Hall at 9.30 am as usual. Alternatively meet at the start point, Ferryside car park, which is alongside the railway station (SN 366 104) at about 10:15. Note; if you are meeting directly at the start point please text Bob to let him know on 07981 963 681.

AGM and Programme Meeting - Results!

Just to let everybody know that we had a successful AGM and Programme Meeting on Thursday. The new programme will be winging its way to people soon, and in the meantime I can tell you who's on the new committee!

Chairperson - Emyr (Replaces Doug)

Treasurer - Robert (Bob) (Replaces Rob (Lewis))

Secretary - Christian (No change)

Footpath Secretary - Graham (No change)

Programme Secretary - Doug (Replaces Emyr and Trudi)

Social Secretary - Martin S (New position for 2011)

Secretary Without Portfolio - Trudi (New position).

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all the committee all the very best in their new (or same!) roles in 2011, and particularly Emyr in his new role as Chair (I will now be taking on more of a supporting role as Programme Sec.).

Pub and Curry Night - Sat 22nd Jan

As mentioned in an earlier newsletter, a night out is proposed for this Saturday (partly in response to the Christmas Meal which some couldn't attend because of snow!).

Plan is to meet in the Westbourne pub on Bryn-y-Mor Road from around 7.30pm, and then to one of the nearby curry houses at about 8.30. Would be good to get a few people out to properly see in the New Year!

For more details call me on 07766652837.

That's about it for another week.
