Overview

Hello Everyone 

Not our own event this Sunday as we're off to support the Ramblers Staffordshire Area AGM and walk hosted by our colleagues from Wolverhampton Group at Coven a few miles north of Wolverhampton. This is a great opportunity to mix with your fellow ramblers and officials from the thirteen other groups represented under the Staffs Area umbrella.

Members already have full details for the day as contained in the Autumn edition of Step Out, our Area's magazine. In brief, the AGM starts at 13.30 prompt and is preceded by a short five mile walk commencing at 10.00 from the venue at Coven Memorial Hall. It is likely there will be more than one walk taking place due to the numbers and probably spaced close together using the same route.

Please bring a packed lunch as usual. Light refreshments will also be available post walk inside the venue. No muddy boots please.
