The annual field event by the RMNF went well on the 13th August with<br />
hundreds of people turning up to enjoy the day. The <strong>Ramblers</strong> had a stand<br />
manned by Freda Moody and myself to promote walking which attracted a<br />
good deal of interest. We also promoted other groups such as the Long<br />
Distance Walkers Association, <strong>Rochdale</strong> Field Naturalists, Lancashire Wildlife<br />
Trust and many others. The handout for Walking for Health was very popular<br />
as was the <strong>Ramblers</strong> programme. We look forward to attracting some new<br />
members.<br />
The Autumn and Winter Programmes <strong>2017</strong>-2018.<br />
The programmes are now complete so a big thank you to those members who<br />
volunteered to lead walks and to Gill and David, and Maureen and David for<br />
putting the programmes together. We will continue to use electronic mailing<br />
where possible but will send out printed copies of the programmes on the 20th<br />
<strong>September</strong> to those members who do not have access to the Internet and to<br />
members who still prefer a printed copy. Please let us know before the 20th if<br />
you want us to send you printed copies. Walk details will also be on the main<br />
<strong>Ramblers</strong> website at the Group Walks Finder and on our own website as soon<br />
as possible.<br />

We already have a vacancy for a Minutes Secretary but by the end of the<br />
Summer we will be looking for a new Footpath Secretary, a Countryside<br />
Secretary and a <strong>Newsletter</strong> Editor. We want to identify these new post holders<br />
before our AGM in November so that we can have a period handing over<br />
responsibilities. If you would like to take on any of these roles please contact<br />
either our Chairman Richard or myself as soon as possible.
