CYW AGM - Annual Updates and Feedback

Time: 17:00 - 19:00
Location: Wendover Community Library (first door on left, then immediately left)

Every year we host an AGM which gives members new and old to come along, chat to the volunteer committee, get an update on how the group has fared in the past year and, most importantly, get an opportunity to feed back!

This is also where you have the opportunity to join the committee, more details on the different roles below. We could do with some new faces to bring fresh ideas and keep our group active.

We'll host a hike to take in the beauty of Wendover in the autumn beforehand, and head out for a meal after (details to follow).

We'd love to see as many people as possible if you can swing by for any part of the day, because without your voices the group would be nothing!

FAQs
If I turn up, do I have to join the Committee?
Not at all - we're grateful to everyone who does volunteer for a role of course, but understand that not everyone can get involved and simply joining the Ramblers and turning up on our walks is such an important part of what we do anyway. Come along and feedback, or just listen along as you soak up the atmosphere.

Can I give feedback before the meeting?
Of course! Just drop Beth an email on chair@chilterns2030s.org.uk. If you'd rather speak to someone else, you can find their contact details here: https://www.chilterns2030s.org.uk/meet-the-team

I'd like to get involved, but not join the committee - what else can I do?
Become a walk leader! You don't have to be on the committee to lead a walk, or vice versa. Let Beth or Claire know if you're up for occasionally leading a walk. No minimum commitment, some people just lead 1 a year as that works best for them.

I'm thinking of joining the Committee, what time commitment would it be?
Some roles are as little as a couple of hours every few months, some are around 1 hour a week, and everything in between.

Sounds good, what roles are there?
All roles are up for re-election every year! Here's the list with a brief description of each role:

• Chair - overall responsibility for keeping the group running smoothly
• Secretary - takes minutes at the quarterly committee meetings
• Treasurer - keeps the group accounts and authorises expenditure
• Membership - first point of contact for new members and keeps an eye on who is a member of the Ramblers
• Walks Coordinator(s) - Arranging the walks programme, publishing walks and acting as the first point of contact for walks leaders. We currently just have the one coordinator but are keen to recruit a second this year.
• Socials - organises our social calendar and helping others to put on socials.
• Publicity Officer(s) - responsible for contacting the media and promoting the group. They are the first point of contact for press/media enquiries.
• Footpath Officer - arranging our annual footpath checks and coordinating any foothpath issues we might come across on our walks.
• Area Rep(s) - Represent the group at Ramblers area and national meetings
• Web Design and Technical - managing our website and other technical requirements we might have as a group
• General Member - this person represents the rest of the members and helps to make sure they are represented in any decisions we make
