Taken from Worcestershire County Branch Annual Meeting, October 10th 2007
Bobbie Matulja circulated a 2007 progress report and walked through the highlights and any additional points.
The key event in 2007 has been dealing with the aftermath of 2 bouts of flooding in June and July, and much of the summer was taken up with communicating with riders about temporary closures and reporting flood damage in to Worcestershire County Council.
Bobbie and Judith Smart are seeking a carriage driving representative to join them on the Local Access Forum and or the Rights of Way Liaison Group, as carriage drivers are under represented at the moment. If anyone is interested, they should speak to Bobbie or Judith about what is involved.
Judith would like to establish a Lost Ways Research Group with members drawn from various path user groups, including ramblers and cyclists as well as riders. Members with an interest in historical research were asked to put their names forward.
Bobbie apologised for the cancellation of the Pleasure Treasure Ride in October due to the Foot & Mouth outbreak.
She and Judith would like to look at venues in different parts of the county, although one problem with arranging a Pleasure Treasure Ride is finding somewhere close to a reasonable concentration of bridleways which has sufficient parking for 20-30 lorries and trailers. Members were asked if they had any contacts who could help with this.
