UPDATE FROM THE CHAIR
Are you a good communicator? At Norfolk Area we recognise that we are missing opportunities to promote the work that Ramblers are doing in the county, and to help our groups to grow. We are looking to recruit one or two more people onto the existing communications team to help with this. Are you good at writing articles for newspapers, good at speaking on the Radio, good with social media, or just keen to learn one of these skills. Please contact me if you would like a further chat about how you can help with this.
Would you like to have a private tour of Norfolk Record Office on 19th March? See: https://www.meetup.com/Norfolk-Area-Ramblers/events/266227732/ or phone me.
