AGM/EGM/ELCV/LOA(Lots Of Acronyms)

Its been a busy few months for the charity. We held the AGM back in May, where we heard about:

  • the progress on the transition to ELCV
  • how we spent our money
  • the re-election of trustees
  • walks we have organised
  • the path link we are trying to get established

See the full details in the AGM Minutes

Since then there have been a couple of EGMs (Extraordinary General Meetings) so that we could formally approve the precise changes to the constitution/paperwork. Pain in the neck, but we have to do things properly!

Our priorities for the rest of 2017 and beyond are the Athlestaneford/Tyne Path link, and the charity expansion/merger/morphing/migration into/with the rest of the conservation volunteering groups, to be called the East Lothian Countryside Volunteers – the ELCV.

Watch out for the new Website and Facebook Page, which will cover all our volunteering, not just the Path Wardens.

 

Bolton – Gifford Walk

Graham & Maxine, the path wardens for core path #2 from Bolton to Gifford, led us on a walk along the route, explaining the various ways they have looked after it, and fully identifying all the flora on the way. You’ll probably have seen the report in the June BBF newsletter but this is more animated version!

If you fancy doing the walk yourself, see the ELC 1-page description here: Gifford to Bolton – Pedlars Way
