Get Involved in YHA Wales
One recommendation of the Purkis Governance Review was that regional councils be replaced with a programme of local rallies, forums and volunteering events open to all members. In order to see how such a set-up would work in practice, YHA Wales is organising a series of events under the heading Get Involved.
Ranging between Autumn 2008 and Summer 2009, and in locations all around Wales, these events are open both to members living in Wales and those with an interest in Welsh hostelling. Would-be attendees are asked to notify Matlock in advance (there’s a registration form available for the purpose) so they know how many people to expect.
Details of the events can be found on a (typically well-hidden) page of the YHA Site, as well as the events listings of this site. The events scheduled so far are:
| 7th-9th Nov: | Marloes Sands Weekend Project |
|---|---|
| 8th Nov: | Autumn Forum at Broad Haven |
| 21st-23rd Nov: | Conwy Weekend Project |
| 6th-8th Feb: | Volunteering at Borth |
| 6th-8th Mar: | Marloes Sands Weekend Project |
| 24th-26th Apr: | Conwy Weekend Project |
| 8th-10th May: | Biking Heaven at Kings |
| 12th May: | Conwy Open Day |
| 15th-17th May: | Brecon Garden Make-over |
| 20th Jun: | Summer Forum at the Welsh Assembly |
If your group is based in or around Wales (or just likes going there), why not make one of these the basis of a group event?
