Dear BAHR members,
There are still plenty of gaps which we would like to fill in the next programme of Sunday walks for the 30s-50s group. This is your chance to share a favourite walk or explore a new walk in an area that interests you. Walks can be led individually or jointly, by anyone who is a paid-up member of the Ramblers.
New volunteers are needed to lead our walks, and without more leaders the group will be in trouble, so can you help us? No special training is required, but if you have not previously led a walk, then we have experienced walk leaders who can provide some guidance, just ask. You do not have to make up a walk from scratch - it is possible to simply select one from a guidebook or the internet.
We aim to offer the choice of two different walks on most Sundays. Ideally, at least one walk will have a public transport option (PT), as an alternative to cars required (CR). There is a demand for shorter walks of between 5-8½ miles (S), either morning or afternoon, as well as our longer day walks which can be anything between 9-15 miles (L). Our Wednesday evening walks (E) during the lighter summer months are normally around 3½-5½ miles.
Simply send an email to 30s50s-walks@bahr.org.uk with your preferred date(s) from the list below, indicating L or S, as well as PT or CR. Please do not delay! This announcement will be updated on a regular basis in order to show the latest availability.

Details of your walk, when decided, should be entered on the Ramblers' specially designed template, which can be downloaded from http://bahr.org.uk/page/programmes (you will first need to sign-in to the main BAHR website).
The relevant .xls file can be opened/edited in Microsoft Excel, and a number of alternative apps. Apache OpenOffice is available as a free download for PCs and Macs, and Kingsoft WPS Office is available as a free download for Android, iPhones, iPads and Windows. Simply hover your cursor over the column headings in the spreadsheet to see what data is required in each cell.
Kindly complete all the necessary fields in the template and then forward your saved MS Excel file as an email attachment to 30s50s-walks@bahr.org.uk at least one month before the date of the walk. Remember to include your Ramblers membership number (this is important for insurance purposes).
Many thanks,
Chris Goodyear
