WALKING GENERAL INFORMATION All leaders should carry a First Aid Kit when leading a walk. These kits are the property of the club (one for each walk day). Leaders can get First Aid Kits from Geoff Batts ( 01202 874347), David Lanigan (01202 893981), John Wadge (01202 822874) or Graham Jakes (01202 825653) and return them after their walk. DISCLAIMER: Walking is inherently safe but people should be aware of their own fitness levels and ability to complete a walk before they start out. Walkers should be appropriately dressed and prepared for a wide variety of terrain and weather conditions. A third party Insurance is held by the Club, which does not cover personal indemnity. The Club or any of its agents acting on behalf of the Club shall not be held responsible for the death, injury, accident or damage, etc to the person or property of any member, guest or any other person, occurring during and arising from participation in any of the activities advertised in the Club’s programme. Third Party Damage or Accidents to any person on a walk should be reported immediately to the Club secretary.

NOTE : MORRISONS will shortly be undergoing major alterations which will most likely restrict future parking. Until we can assess the full impact we will continue to use it as a meet for car sharing. If this proves to be a problem then plan B will be to use Potterne Park but in the meantime CONTINUE to use MORRISONS. Early feed back from anyone experiencing Parking problems at Morrisons would be useful.
