Walk proposals: If you want to suggest a walk, just fill out a form, print it out, and bring it to the next meeting. The more walks you propose the more variety for everyone, and the more experience you get! If you haven't lead a walk before, no problemo - there are plenty of experienced walkers to help you.
Bookings: Please ring the leader directly prior to all walks. For overnight and extended walks you must ring no later than the Wednesday prior to the walk. However for some walks much more notice must be given. This may be needed for planning and/or booking purposes, for dates to be firmed up or changed, etc.
Walk leaders: Please remember to fill in the Activity Booking Sheet and forward it to the Club Secretary
