Our current president Vin Llinares was chairman for 21 years. Gwilym Morgan, our Vice President was the second Secretary and retired in 1998 having been in the post for almost 40 years. Jean Long (now Mrs Llinares) has also been a member since 1956.The club is affiliated to the Ramblers’ Association but its walking activities are totally independent. It does however support all the RA objectives and members have and continue to hold posts within the local RA structures.
Our programme includes brief descriptions of our walks which should give an idea of the degree of difficulty. Potential and new members are advised to contact the leader for further information about the walk. This will include suitability of equipment.
Over the years the club’s programme has developed from a pattern of 1 walk every 3 weeks with the occasional weekend away to weekly walks, regular weekends and holidays. The latter have been both within the British Isles and in Europe.
At least 1 walking holiday is planned every year on the Continent.Club membership is drawn from a wide area across North Wales and beyond. We are involved in Twinning Activities with Menden in Germany and St Grégoire in Brittany. This has resulted in club members visiting Menden and their local Rambling Club visiting Wales.
We operate a car sharing scheme details of the meeting points are in the programme. If you do not have access to a car contact the leader a few days before and alternative arrangements can usually be made.
