Walks Secretary

Chris is from Romford in Essex and has been a member of SURG since 1998. He loves long walks in mountainous places and has trekked in Peru, Morocco, Nepal and New Zealand as well as in Europe. A committee member on and off since 2002, Chris enjoys the challenge of putting the quarterly walks programmes together.

As Walks Secretary, Chris keeps the Group on its feet, working with Walk Leaders to compile a full and varied programme of walks. His role is to:

• Contact walk leaders and get commitments from them to lead walks.
• Compile the quarterly walks programme, working with the Social Secretary to publish the programme.
• Encourage members to become walk leaders, and support new walk leaders.
