Organisers should pass details of the walk (including location, grid reference for the start of the walk, distance, ground conditions and how easy or strenuous it is likely to be) and a contact mobile telephone number to the Group co-ordinator at least 1 week before the event. These details will then be circulated to all members who are on e-mail. Members who cannot be contacted by e-mail can obtain walk details by phoning the walk organiser or the Group co-ordinator.
