**Health & Safety: Events are organised with H&S in mind (max numbers, no unsafe venues/destinations tc.), however, each member attends events at their own risk. \
**Coastline Walks do not have Accidental Insurance cover for members going on walks and members are responsible for their own safety and they attend all meet-ups at their own risk.If a member has any health issues they must ensure that they have their Doctors permission to take part and health issues must be declared to the walk organiser when you join as some of the walks may not be suitable for there fitness level, i.e. Cliff Walks . The flat walks would probably be more suitable for them.By signing up to this meet-up group and attending the walks you acknowledge that you accept responsibility for your own safety at all meet-ups.
We also as a group host social events for members, and organize day tours, meeting for tea/coffee, going to cinema or theatre in the evening or weekend, places of history/interest .We are always welcome to hear of new suggestions from members for a new meetup and also for them to offer to host a meetup of their choice.
This is a good way to get some exercise in, meet people, unwind, exchange ideas for new meetup events, relax and chat.
This is a friendly pleasant group for people who like to walk and chat in good company
Some simple rules for new members joining: \
Walks/Meetups
We would ask members to please change your rsvp to NO as soon as you know that you cannot attend a walk/meetup to allow other members to avail of it, (especially in the summer months) instead of leaving it to the morning of the walk which is probably too late then for people who may already have made arrangements for the weekend. If a member has 2 no shows they will be deleted from the group as there is a long waiting list for new members.
For members attending the walks please wear suitable warm clothing and comfortable suitable footwear and socks and bring a drink/snack/fruit with you on the meetup. We normally meet at the dart line or a convenient central location for members but whilst we can wait ten minutes or so for members after the meetup time (i.e. train/bus delays) we would then have to go ahead with the meetup as it would be unfair to the rest of the group who may have other commitments later in the day. We do not hold a list of mobile numbers for members so if a member is late unfortunately it will result in them missing the group. \
Please remember the importance of wearing proper walking footwear (versus wearing an old pair of shoes/ankle boots with heels !, sandals, or canvas shoes), nobody needs to be getting a twisted ankle etc that could have been avoided by suitable footwear being worn. .
Group Rules:
The group is intended to be relaxed, informal and friendly. As a minimum, the following code of conduct is expected of all members:
No verbal abuse of the organisers/other members
No monitoring/questioning other members attendance
No using the group for commercial enterprise
(members account will be deleted if the site is used for this purpose)
Any members in breach of this code will be removed from the group.
No dogs allowed on any walks
