You are invited to attend the AGM of the Dorset Group of the Long Distance Walkers Association which will be held at Winterborne Kingston Village Hall, North Street, Winterborne Kingston DT11 9AZ (different location to previous years), at 3pm on Sunday 2 December 2018. Only primary members of the Group can attend the AGM. If you want to bring someone with you whose primary membership is of a different LDWA Group or who is not an LDWA member, this will need to be agreed by the committee, so please let me know well in advance. For those who are attending the AGM only, lunch will be available at 1pm in the Greyhound Inn at Winterborne Kingston. The Group will pay for your lunch (but not drinks!), if you are a primary member of the Dorset Group and if you are attending the AGM afterwards. Further details and a menu (for you to notify your  choices in advance) will be sent out soon.

Nominations are very much welcome for any of the positions or to be an ordinary member of the Committee. The Officers are Chair, Group Secretary, Treasurer, Walks Secretary, Events Secretary.

If you want to know what's involved with any of the positions or to be an ordinary committee member, I am happy to talk it through with you (contact details below).This may all sound very bureaucratic - please don't be put off!
