Following the Norfolk Area AGM on Saturday 27 February\u00a0a new area committee has been elected.<\/p>\n

The new area chairman is Richard May who is also currently a national trustee. Richard paid tribute to the work of Bernard Moore, the retiring chairman, and said:<\/p>\n

“Bernard has been area chair in Norfolk for as long as I have been a member of Ramblers, and I would\u00a0like to thank him personally for all the work that he has put in for the Ramblers in Norfolk. He has\u00a0done a great job on behalf of Norfolk for many years, and he will be a hard act to follow”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Richard added:<\/p>\n

“I look forward to working with the area council members and the wider membership in Norfolk to\u00a0continue to keep Ramblers an organisation relevant to the 21st century walker, and hopefully to turn\u00a0the corner on membership levels and start to grow our membership again”.<\/em><\/p>\n

The area AGM was held in Upper Sheringham and the Sheringham group offered an excellent welcome with biscuits and wonderful home baked cakes.<\/p>\n

We also had an interesting talk from Paul Strong, the Head of Ramblers ICT, who also offered an overview of the meeting. Members were able to get an insight into the complex nature of the operations of the national organisation and see the hard work which under-pinned the Big Pathwatch scheme.<\/p>\n

After the formal part of the meeting we were also given a wonderfully entertaining talk by Richard Edwards from Sheringham Coastwatch. More information about this voluntary organisation is available at\u00a0http:\/\/www.sheringhamcoastwatch.org.uk\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
