Our Assocaion is proposing a Tour to the Canary Islands that will last
fifteen days, from the 29th September to the 13th October 2009. The number of
participants will be very restricted and as usual members will be taken
first-come first-served basis.
The choice of the Canary Islands was made as the unique opportunity presented
itself with the Conference of the European Ramblers' Association (ERA) being
held there. For the occasion the ERA is organising a series of tours that are
very interesting and that will give the opportunity to participants to visit and
walk on the islands of La Palma, El Hierro, La Gomera and Tenerife. Since it is
envisaged that it will be necessary to transit in Madrid, two days will be spent
in the capital of Spain giving our members the chance to visit the interesting
sites there.
This is the brief programme of the Tour. More details will be given later to the
participants:
Tuesday 29.09 - Flight: depart Malta10.55am Arrive Madrid 1.55pm
Wednesday 30.09 - Day in Madrid

Monday 12.10 - Madrid
Tuesday 13.10 - Flight depart Madrid 7.50am Arrive Malta 10.30am
The days in the Canary Islands will be full of activities, cultural visits,
talks and walks that will be organised by the Association of La Palma. The days
will be programmed from breakfast to dinner, with little time to spare if you
would want to part-take of all the activities. The two and a half days in Madrid
will be free for all to do as they wish although some joint activity may be
taken up.
Except for the duration in Madrid, where accomodation on B&B is provided for,
the rest of the tour will be on full-board basis. Included also are the costs of
all transfers to and from airports, excursions, boat-trips and buses. What is
not included in the price quoted below are dinners in Madrid since everybody
will be left free to do as they please there.
The price of the tour will be €1650-00 and does not include insurance cover,
which is obligatory for all participants. It may vary slightly if flight costs
go up as they usually do over a time. This is why so little time is being
allowed for you to consider and confirm.
Those interested are kindly asked to write immediately expressing their
interest. Closing date for joining the tour is 30th June 2009. For more
information kindly phone on 99497080 before the 27th June. | |

Annual General Meeting 2009. Read the Minutes and Reports here...
...
The Ramblers Association of Malta ( RAM ) was set
up in February 2005 on the initiative of Lino Bugeja
who had long led a one-man campaign in the press
against whole swathes of countryside and a good
number of country paths and lanes being closed off
little by little by means of gates, fences and those
ubiquitous signs claiming " RTO " or suchlike.

Our logo is simple and
portrays the local landscape as everybody will at once perceive it, with little
green and more earth colours and lots of blue. Light and nature are the
motivating factors, just what prompts ramblers to the feeling of easiness
and freedom of outside life in natural surrounds, and away from the bustling
crowds and routine of everyday life.
The logo was created by Steve Bonello | |
