September 1995 Newsletter
This newsletter contains the following sections:
Chairman's Introduction
Well another year is upon us and yet again we have the predictable beautiful Welsh countryside and unpredictable, often challenging Welsh weather to look forward to!
If you are joining the club for the first time, welcome and I look forward to seeing you on the walks and socials run by the club. If however you are an old and trusted member joining the club for yet another year, then you must remember how good it feels to get into a quiet pub and sink a couple of pints and perhaps a couple more until by the end of the night walking is the furthest thing from your mind.
There are walks of varying standards run each week and regular weekends away. These are a good opportunity to walk further afield and are always good for a laugh and a piss-up. Above all the rams is about getting away from it all and enjoying yourself.
If you have any queries please don't hesitate to contact a committee member at the addresses below or by leaving a note on the club board. (If we are not found at these addresses, committee members can often be found in the corner of any local pub/bar).
