HYNDBURN GROUP POLICIES
It would be appreciated if you could read the following notes thoroughly as they ARE relevant and apply to all. Thank-you.
1) The car park is situated at the junction of Plantation Street and the dual carriageway, Eastgate, in Accrington. If approaching from Whalley Road / Burnley Road direction, proceed to the end of Eastgate and turn left at the traffic lights into Plantation Street. The entrance to the Car Park is immediately on your left. If approaching from Manchester Road direction , you will pass the Fire & Police stations on your left, then " The James Hargreaves" and the "Swan" public houses on your right. At the traffic lights ahead, turn right into Plantation Street. The entrance to the Car Park is immediately on your left.
2) Would all walkers please go to Plantation Street ONLY and NOT to the destination as walks may be subject to alteration. If you go direct to the destination then you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK.
*If N/A is in the column for Plantation Street time then meeting point IS at time and place described in details column of programme.
If any alteration needs to be made then the Leader will inform you on the day. The destination distance and walk distance will be equal to, or less than, what is stated on the Walks Programme.
3) Those without cars may meet at Plantation Street and will probably be offered a lift if places are available. It would be appreciated if such passengers would contribute towards the fuel expenses of the driver using the formula of 20p per mile on the OUTWARD journey (£2.00 minimum) and also have a change of footwear available for both legs of the journey. Any Car Parking charges are to be shared between the occupants of each car.
4) Please note that this Walks Programme is compiled for the benefit of Ramblers Association Members. Non-members are most welcome to attend a few walks on trial basis, but are then expected to join the Ramblers Association.
Information / membership leaflets are available from the Walks Co-ordinator.
5) Informal Wednesday Walks take place each week throughout the year starting from Plantation Street Car Park at 9.30am. Destination, distance and the leader are decided on the day. Please remember that for insurance purposes leaders of Wednesday Walks must be paid up members of the R.A. (All these notes apply on these walks as well)
6) Dogs are welcome but MUST be kept on a lead under close control AT ALL TIMES.
***THIS IS A GROUP POLICY THAT MUST BE ADHERED TO***
7) Group Committee Meetings appear on the Programme to enable ( or encourage ) you to come along if you have any questions / comments for the Committee. All meetings take place at Lock Street Club, Lock Street, Oswaldtwistle except for the AGM which is in the Town Hall, Accrington.
8) PLEASE do not contact the Walks Co-ordinator for additional information about specific walks (unless he's leading!) , as I say every year, ALL details are on this Programme, so I only know what is here as well!!
9) Please observe the Country Code at all times.
