Countryside Access Volunteers' Training Day - 17th November 2006 |

Around 18 Farnham Ramblers out of about 55 in

working. After a pleasant lunch the afternoon session covered the
Value of Areas of outstanding natural beauty (ANOB), the responsibilities of
land owners, the role of volunteers, the law and safe lifting practices.
A thoroughly enjoyable day which enabled a lot to be covered. Visit the slide show to see what happened on the day. The pictures were kindly provided by David Fisher |
