Membership

Clive - Membership

I stumbled on the Hants 40+ walking group by chance in the autumn of 2009 when they were out on their very first trial walk. I was so taken by the group's friendliness and enthusiasm that after looking them up on the internet I tagged along on my first walk that November. It blew a chilly gale and the rain came down in bucketfuls! Since then, I've spent many happy miles with the group - sharing excellent company while wandering through beautiful landscapes, often in glorious weather. I'm now enjoying leading walks as often as I can, which is very rewarding - and as Membership Secretary I do my best to encourage and help would-be walkers to get walking and join the group. Interested? Have a look at our section for New Walkers - if any doubts remain then send me an email!

Trips Away

Co-ordinate the trips away that members plan, so that they spread evenly throughout the year and do not clash. Carl offers assistance and advice in respect of planning trips and monitors progress. He also manages the group membership of organisations which are used in conjunction with trips away such as the YHA. A large part of the role is to encourage members to organise trips away. Many of our members are from other parts of the country and can bring their knowledge and experience from home in this.
