Report on RAMBLERS CYMRU GROUP Virtual Meeting 
held 26^th January to 2^nd February 2012

Summer programme and WalkTalk

(a) Walks in all categories are sufficient: 3 navigation  sessions scheduled.
(b) Coach deposit: no longer required after Creigiau Travel contacted by JN.
(c) GL’s proposed coach prices (as amended by JN) supported.
(d) Free coach for Coastal Path walk on May 6^th supported.  Quote from Creigiau Travel not yet done (JN to action).
(e) Deadlines (all to note):  Walks programme to MK:  10^th February; WalkTalk to MK: end of February; printed material to RW: mid-March.
(f) Alternate Tuesday social venue to be Three Arches (rather than Gatekeeper) was supported.

One issue has I think been left hanging: Start times of Thursday evening walks was raised by MK who favours 7:30 start for all and this was supported by RW and DD stated she was happy with either (no other responses).  Perhaps review at the end of summer and see whether there is a strong desire to change? 

(f) WalkTalk:  specific request by GM for article on Tuesday social (response from JW).   Any other articles to GM as soon as possible.

3. Area Walk

(a) Request by DD that 10 mile walk start at 10:00am
(b) Question of where walks should start: one in favour of Scout Hall, Pontcanna Fields and one for Sophia Gardens car park – no other response so question unresolved.
