How To Go On A Walk

• Download the Club Calendar or collect one at a Club meeting.

• At the Club meeting nominate for the walk you would like to go on.

• If unable to attend the Club meeting phone the leader of the walk.

• Nominations close 9:00 pm on the Wednesday prior to the trip.

• If you are then unable to attend the trip you must contact the leader to cancel so that someone on the waiting list may go.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you are fit enough to do the walk. If in doubt, ask the leader of the walk. We have a grading system but even so, what can be an easy walk for one person may be quite strenuous for another.

PLEASE NOTE: A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OUR WALKS ARE OFF TRACK AND MAY INVOLVE SUBSTANTIAL UPHILL WALKING.

The leader will provide details about the walk such as any additional equipment to bring and the meeting place. If a walk is cancelled due to inclement weather you will be contacted.

While on a walk, please remember that bushwalking can be dangerous. All participants in Club activities are required to sign a Risk Waiver form.

Meeting Place and Car Pool Costs

The leader of a walk will organise the meeting place and car pool. Passengers are expected to contribute towards the driver's expenses at a rate of 10 cents per klm per person. Always check with the leader on meeting arrangements regarding the particular walk you nominate for. Please put your phone number, suburb and transport requirements on the nomination form.

Walking Together

The Club walks as a group. Members are expected to stay together. Be responsible for the person behind you. Notify the leader if that person is not within sight. A "Tail End Charlie" may be appointed by the leader if there is a large group. Let him/her know if you need a comfort stop.
