We now have Janet helping Ros in her job as Membership Secretary. There is quite a lot of work involved (mainly caused by Ramblers Head Office’s unfriendly bureaucracy) so it is good to have someone else to share the load. The 99% of you who receive communication by email should have received the next walks programme and the Area newsletter a few days ago. Communications from Ros or Janet are safe to open. For the few people who receive theirs by post, there is obviously a delay involving printers, envelopes, stamps and posting etc (not to mention the vagaries of the Royal Mail) but yours will arrive shortly.
