Annual General Meeting of Long Distance Walkers Association.
Over the last twenty years the Association has combined it’s Annual General Meeting with a walking/social weekend. Thanks to a lot of hard work on behalf of the Organisers the weekend has become a very popular event. The weekend includes a walking programme which caters for all abilities, a Gala Dinner, Barn Dance,Speaker,and the Annual General Meeting.
Geoff Saunders (MerseyStride) worked wonders for consistently over 11 years finding good quality hotels with leisure facilities at very reasonable prices. Reg Kingston took over in 2010. The AGMs in Skipton and Axbridge were very well supported, both hotels being fully booked by LDWA members, some needing to find accommodation in surrounding hotels. The 2012 hotel, The Cumbria Grand, has sufficient rooms to accommodate all those wishing to attend. Over the weekend members have the chance on walks, at the bar or over the Dinner table to meet up with old friends from other groups and see and talk with Committee members and be able to update themselves concerning Association business at the AGM.
2012 AGM & SOCIAL WEEKEND
The 2012 Annual General Meeting and social weekend will be held at Cumbria Grand Hotel, Grange over Sands, Cumbria from Friday 2nd March to Sunday 4th March 2012. Grange over Sands is set between the Lake District Fells and Morecambe Bay. The Cumbria Grand overlooks the River Kent Estuary (famous for its Bore) and directly over to Arnside Knot. The town and hotel are easily accessed by road and rail. They provide an excellent base for those wishing to explore Southern Lakeland.
The Social/AGM programme and booking form can be found in the December Strider or you can download them here:
