This Welcome Page appears to have become more of a blog for Chesterfield, its environs and members 'off piste' events! Perhaps this is because we are not walking at present due to floods, holidays and stage scenery painting. Normal service will be resumed - eventually!

Another Constitutional Crisis Looms

It has been pointed out by a multitude of observers that under Article 17 of the Constitution (reproduced below) an Annual General meeting of the Society must be held, early in the New Year.

By any reasonable definition – where 'reasonable' is defined as costing slightly less than a pint of the best bitter in the Peak District, to be purchased by the Chief Faartal and donated to the Society's Honorary Webmaster, thank you very much – the Meeting should be held in the month of January.

Lamentably, to date no notice of such a meeting has come to the attention of the huddled masses!

In Petronilla's name, we, the aforementioned huddled masses, beseech the Chief Faartal to extract a digit and call a Meeting as soon as possible to prevent the possibility of schism or revolution, for verily indeed most Faartals are truly revolting.

Article  17 of the Constitution of the Faartals, kindly reproduced without the permission of the Chief Faartal.

An Annual General Meeting will be held early each New Year to assess the performance of the officials and consider their reappointment. The meeting is to be held on Kinder Scout as near dawn as possible and will require the necessary quorum for any decisions to be implemented.

    The Faartals AGM was held at an altitude of 1400 feet, behind a rock on Monday 18th January on Whinstone Lee Tor at around 12 noon. It was thought that a full quorum was present but the deep snowdrifts, thick fog and gale force winds made it difficult to do a proper head count. RT presided and proposed himself as Chief Faartal for the coming year. This proposal was seconded by CMB who had given a proxy to RT as she was absent on shopping leave. As no one present objected, this proposal was carried unanimously. Similarly RT proposed himself as Secretary and Treasurer and again was elected unanimously.
    Whinstone Lee had been agreed as the location for this meeting as Kinder is still to this day virtually inaccessible due to snow. To reach the heights of the Tor involved walking up rivers caused by the melt water, traversing snowdrifts still 3 to 4 foot deep and walking into the teeth of a gale blowing from the north west. RT has promised to make a record of this walk to honour all the brave members who managed to make it to the top.
    In his role as Faartals PR secretary, RT told how he had recently had one of his snowdrift pictures accepted by the BBC for showing on their main news page in relation to the recent snowfall which had overwhelmed this part of Derbyshire. RT explained that this was the first time he had been honoured with anything since earning his swimming badge some 55 years ago.
