Special National and Regional Meetings 2010
Meetings across Britain for volunteers with the Chair and Chief Executive this autumn (events – posted 25 June 2010)
Meetings to take place in Newcastle, Cardiff, Glasgow, London, Liverpool and Plymouth during October and November 2010. Please note - there will be another meeting in Nottingham later in the year, date to follow.
The two-hour meetings are being held to help improve communications between central office, the Board of Trustees, and Areas and Groups of the Ramblers - Britain's walking charity.They follow similar meetings held across Britain during last winter, which were well-received by those attending.
Each will involve both Rodney Whittaker, Chair, and Tom Franklin, Chief Executive. All volunteers are welcome, although as space is limited (and several of last year’s events were fully booked) early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment (see booking form below).
The meetings will:
- begin with an introduction to the Ramblers business plan for 2010/11 – setting out what the priorities are for the year ahead, for both our campaigning and our walks programmes;
- focus on the issue of how we are working to increase our membership – after many years of gradual decline, we all need to work to increase our membership this year;
- include an opportunity to discuss volunteer concerns and views, for Rodney and Tom to report back to the Board of Trustees and the Senior Management Team.
Tea and coffee will be provided.
The dates and times (exact times TBC) of the meetings are:
Newcastle - 7 October 2010 - early afternoon
Cardiff - 14 October 2010 - early evening
Glasgow - 26 October 2010 - early evening
London 2 - November 2010 - early evening
