2 NORFOL RAMBLERS need a new Treasurer When Brian Floringer took over as Area Treasurer in 2007 he had every intention of continuing in the post for several years, but unfortunately he now finds that his full time professional duties have become too demanding and he no longer has the time for voluntary duties. He will resign at the AGM next February and we are seeking a replacement for this vital position. Most of the time the duties are relatively light, but at certain times, especially just after the year end, requirements are a little more demanding. Since 2007 Sheila Smith, our former Treasurer, has continued to look after publication sales including all the sales records, bankings, stock control, credit control, etc., together with an annual account suitable for integration into the Area s annual accounts, relieving the Treasurer of responsibility for a large proportion of the Area s total transactions. This has effectively split the job into two, it is working extremely well and Sheila will continue as Publications Manager for the foreseeable future. Our Executive Committee meets at four monthly intervals, so with the AGM there are four meetings a year. These meetings provide a focus for the work of all our officers, but of course the work continues between times. If you have basic accounting skills and think you could help please phone Brian on his mobile We are looking for someone who is not already on the Executive Committee, it does include able and committed people already committed to other aspects of the Area s work we need someone new! It is essential that we have a Treasurer. New name for the Norfolk Young Walkers Group I am pleased to report that the new group council for the Norfolk YWG has risen to the challenge of growing our group. We have looked at many areas that might be a hindrance to recruitment, and one of the things decided is that our name is a problem as some potential members assume we are a walking group for children. We have looked at the names of various other groups, and finally decided to follow Essex s example, hence in future our group will be called Hike Norfolk 2 31

I decided it would be a good idea to use this path for a walk to be published in the EDP Norfolk Magazine, but unfortunately while surveying the route it was found that although the new boardwalk was excellent as far as it went - this wasn t actually far enough. It did indeed cover the wettest section of the path, but the meadow between the stream and the Bure was barely passable in December and would inevitably get worse as the winter progressed. Our committee decided a donation of 5000 in the current financial year to September 2010 should be used to extend the boardwalk across the meadow and for the smaller project of steps on a footpath at Newton by Castle Acre (details of this were reported in the last issue of Area News). We are now pleased to report that the boardwalk has been completed and includes a short section where the route continues north of the Bure on Erpingham FP3. Many members may be familiar with the path, but perhaps have been avoiding it over recent years because of the excessive sogginess? It is now fully usable again. Our donation did not completely cover the cost of both projects, but the shortfall was only about 450.

As area news editor, I would like to record my thanks to Geoff Head and Janet Stevens who have coordinated the team who do the envelope stuffing for Area News, and have done so for the last 12 years. It has always impressed me at the efficiency with which the copies are received from the printers and turned around into the post to be with members on time. This gives maximum time to me to do the job of producing the publication. This edition that you are reading now is their last, so I would like to thank them for all their work on behalf of Norfolk area and personally for their support they have given to my role.
