On 11 November 2020 we hosted our first virtual AGM and Mini-Networking event 2020 (Reflections and developments in access and active travel, lessons from the Summer and looking forward to 2021). The event proved a success with 43 people attending and a full and varied agenda including presentations from representatives of Ramblers Scotland, Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park Authority, NatureScot – on behalf of the National Access Forum, Paths For All and Sustrans Scotland.
Kenny Auld (Co-convenor) presented a Co-convenors’ report and Alan Bannister (Treasurer), his Treasurer’s Report for 2019-2020.
We received some great feedback:
“all worked very smoothly including the voting“
“good short presentations , interesting too.“
“a great update“
“loads of good info in short space of time“
“Good to see people that we haven’t seen for a long time.“
Echoing the last comment, it was great to “see” people that we haven’t seen for some time due to COVID restrictions and the SOAN Committee thanks all who attended and presented at the event.
Moving into 2021, we hope to run other virtual events. To keep updated on these, become a member of SOAN. When we’ve more details, we’ll send these to you.
