Following the AGM 2023 it was agreed to set up a WhatsApp group to make additional announcements of forthcoming walks and to provide quick and easy communications with members – not just regular walkers but occasional walkers too. All members have been emailed a couple of times inviting them to join and, so far, 52 have done so.

The general pattern is that an announcement is made about a forthcoming week’s walks on the Sunday prior to the start of the week, which usually means a brief description of 3 walks planned for the Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Occasionally holidays and other events prevent an announcement happening but the majority have been publicised in this way since December 2023.

Comments about walks and footpath issues are also encouraged but the group is primarily about walk announcements. For general chat / photos we now have a new UR Social Group which already has 32 members.

To join either of  the Uttlesford Ramblers WhatsApp groups please contact me on 07786 194331.
