Future Walks Notes for Saturday walkers
If possible, please email or sms your intention to walk to the walk coordinator instead of phoning. The walk coordinator will always reply to confirm that you are listed for the walk and provide you with any necessary details. Please sms at a respectful hour
Alternatively, please phone the walk coordinator between the hours of 6pm to 8pm on the Thursday before the walk or as requested by the coordinator.
Please check the walks list to see when you have been nominated to coordinate a walk
