Please refer to my email of Monday 15 October about the AGM of the Dorset Group of the Long Distance Walkers Association on Sunday 2nd December 2018. This is appended below for ease of reference. If you are attending the AGM and wish to have lunch beforehand (as detailed below), the Group will pay for your lunch (2 courses). Please would you now choose from the menu (click on the link below) and let Anne Brown dorset.ldwa.walks@gmail.com know your choices by Thursday 15 November. Or if you have any questions please direct to Anne at dorset.ldwa.walks@gmail.com . You can choose two courses from the menu but not three, and apologies but this is the only menu available. Apologies for short notice. PLEASE REPLY DIRECT TO ANNE, NOT TO THIS EMAIL.

-----------------------------

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.

Please send me nominations for Officers and ordinary Committee members, which must be received by me at dorset.ldwa.secretary@gmail.com no later than four weeks before the AGM, i.e. by Sunday 4 November. 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!
