Group Update

You may have received a newsletter by email on 19th April from the Ramblers Volunteering Team saying that they have now started a one-month transition to the new Walks Manager and that as a Walk Leader you can now add and edit your own walks.
Whilst this new ability for Walk Leaders to add and edit their own walks is a significant enhancement, the local CNED Committee have decided that in order to provide a structured approach to producing our Summer and Winter Walking Programmes, we will retain our existing procedure whereby Walk Leaders submit details of their walks to the respective Walks Organisers.
When each walk programme is completed, all of the walks will then be added to Walks Manager by one of our Walking Programme Coordinators.

One important change in the new Walks Manager is that all walks are now linked to a Walk Leader’s account in the Assemble system.
This means that in order to control which of your contact details are displayed against your walks (e.g. telephone number, email address), you need to set your contact preferences within Walks Manager and ensure that the details are correct in your Assemble account.
We recommend that you do this as soon as possible and before 16th May.

If you have an Assemble account, login to the new Walks Manager via https://beta.ramblers.org.uk/my-account
The email address and password will be the same as you use to access Assemble or the Ramblers App. Scroll down the My Account page to the Your volunteering section and click on Walks Manager.

On the Walks Manager page that appears, click on the portrait icon in the top-right corner and then select Contact Preferences.
On this page you will see your display name, contact telephone number and email address. Below this you will see separate tick-boxes to give permission for each of the above to be displayed against your walks.
Tick the appropriate boxes and then click on Save.

If you do not select a telephone number or an email address, the enquiry will be directed to the CNED group telephone number / email address. When ticking the email address box, your actual email address will not be publicly visible as a Contact Form is used to collect any enquiries and send them to your inbox.

If your contact telephone number or email address is incorrect, then you will need to amend these in your Assemble account via https://volunteer.ramblers.org.uk/portal/home
Please note that it can take up to 24 hours for changes made to appear in Walks Manager. Your Display Name is automatically created using your Firstname and the first letter of your Surname as entered in your Assemble account.
