Welcome to Pathfinders, our established walking group, primarily based in Shropshire. What we aim to achieve is to provide walks in the countryside and give people the opportunity to meet up, enjoy each other's company whilst reaping the benefits of regular exercise. We welcome enthusiasts of all fitness levels. We intend to provide a variety of walks of varying lengths to promote health and wellbeing. We positively encourage our members who may have a favourite walk to share it with the group. If a member isn’t confident in leading the walk themselves then one of our leaders can help facilitate. All suggestions are welcomed. Primarily this group is about walking with friends and exploring the beautiful countryside of Britain. Walks will be in Shropshire, the surrounding counties and parts of Wales. All of our walk leaders are volunteers and although all walks will have been risk assessed, members are reminded that attendance is entirely at your own risk. Update July 25th 2021 Group Funding Arrangements: For many months now the leadership team have been considering how to finance the running of the group. We have also looked at what other groups are doing regarding funds and the majority of them levy a charge per walk of between £1:00 and £2:00. We have looked at Pathfinders running costs and feel this level of charge per walk is not required. Our decision is to levy an annual charge of £2:00 per member. So that this can be managed efficiently with full traceability of collection and use of funds we have put in place the following. We have appointed a treasurer who will manage all aspects of this funding and record keeping and we are very grateful to Paul Lamare for his help so far in this capacity. We have opened a Business bank account with HSBC. Details will be sent with a welcome message once new members are approved. Finally, please be assured Pathfinders remains a "not for profit" organisation and its leadership team are and will remain unpaid volunteers. We also hope you agree that the £2:00 annual levy represents exceptional value. Thank you for your continued support. Eirlys, Paul, Roger Our contact details: Roger Whitehouse 07340 402933 Eirlys Howard 07761 206945 Paul Lamare (Treasurer)

Shropshire Humanists was formed in 2006 as a voice for those in the county and around who live decent and useful lives without superstitious belief and without religion. We are affiliated to Humanists UK and come together to discuss relevant issues and to meet up with those of a like mind. We believe that the growth of fundamentalist religious beliefs can represent a real threat. Although we have no wish to dictate what other people think we are firmly of the view that religious beliefs and practices are essentially private matters, and should have no influence in our legislative system or our state-funded education system. Shropshire Humanists aims to campaign for those issues both locally and nationally and aspires to grow to provide a local voice. A welcome is given to those who have sympathy with these objectives or wish to find out more. Further details on our group can be found at: https://shropshirehumanist.wordpress.com/

Walkers are also reminded that they assume their own risks and responsibilities when participating. *1\. Booking* The walk leader will decide how many members can go on a walk, The number will reflect the number of stiles, the difficulty and the number that the leader is comfortable with. When that number is reached, any further walkers will be put on a waiting list and will hopefully get on the attending list as members drop out. With this in mind, would members only book on walks if they fully intend to participate. *2\. Changing your mind and cancellations* Walks can be cancelled due to extreme weather conditions. You should check the page for the walk on the morning before setting out. If you have RSVP'd yes to a walk but you find you are unable to attend, then please let us know by changing your RSVP, or leaving a message on the page for the walk. If this happens within 2 hours of the start of a walk, please text or call the walk leader (see below). *3\. Lateness and getting there* Directions to the start point will be posted on the site, together with a link to a map. Postcodes can cover a wide area in semi-rural locations, so you should not totally rely on satnavs. If you are going to be late please ring or text the walk leader to let them know. The number will be posted on the page for the walk. The number for the group organiser (Tony) is 07711 950964 *4\. Footwear and clothing* You should check the page for the walk for any special advice about footwear and clothing. Most of our walks are short and on proper paths, but some walks may be very muddy. If there is nothing to the contrary on the walk page, you should be ok wearing walking boots, strong trainers or other good footwear. Flip-flops and high heels are examples of footwear which are unsuitable. It is your own responsibility to ensure you are adequately clothed (and have brought waterproofs if it is a rainy day or rain is forecast). Anyone deemed to be wearing inadequate clothing or footwear may be excluded from the walk at the discretion of the walk leader. *5\. Dogs* You may bring well-behaved dogs to the walk, but they must be accompanied by a responsible adult and kept on a lead at all times. *6\. Age range / children* Children may attend the walk, provided they are at least 10 years old. Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult (aged 18+). There is no upper age limit on our walks. *7\. Medical and fitness* It is your responsibility to decide whether or not you are fit enough to attend the walks; you should read the page for the walk, which should give you an indication of the difficulty and length. In the very unlikely event that someone is obviously incapable of completing the walk, then they may be excluded at the discretion of the leader. If you become unwell or have an accident during a walk, please notify the leader immediately. Leaders are not medically trained, do not have first aid kits, but they will carry a mobile phone. *8\. Photography* Photographers are welcome on our walks. However, you should obtain permission if you photograph other members of the group or their guests (and if that person is a child, you must also obtain the permission of their accompanying adult). *9\. Alcohol and drugs* You are not permitted to attend our walks if you are under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. Anyone who appears to be impaired by alcohol or drugs may be removed from the walk at the discretion of the walk leader. *10\. Leaving the walk early* It is acceptable to leave a walk earlier than the agreed end point, however you must ensure you notify the walk leader. *11\. Following the leader* Participants should follow the route set by the leader. *12\. Racism and Sexism Discrimination* We are a multicultural group open to members of all races, genders, sexes and personal beliefs. Members must not discriminate or make comments that can be construed as offensive by other members. If this should occur and a complaint is made to the group leadership, the offending member may or will be asked to leave the group. *13\. Miscellaneous* Anyone who refuses to comply with the reasonable requests of the leader, disrupts the walk, or whose behaviour is grossly offensive or dangerous to others may be removed from the walk at the discretion of the walk leader. After receiving several comments from members concerning people asking for lifts; would all walkers please refrain from either personally asking or phoning other members for lifts to walks. If you should require a lift, would you please post a request on the meet up message board for that walk. This will then ensure that no member feels obliged or embarrassed into giving someone a lift.
