Temporary Member Fees
$4 per person per Day. The fee will be
collected by the Leader before the Event.
Bookings
To be made at the previous Club meeting or by telephoning the
Leader
Cancellations
Notify the Leader as soon as practicable. There are usually
people on the waiting list who would be keen to come, if given some notice.
Transport
If required, please inform the Leader or by noting the column on
the Event Registration Form.
The amount that passengers are to contribute to the driver's petrol and car running expenses is a matter for negotiation between car driver and passengers. However, based on a total of 4 occupants including the driver, in the average sized car, a base figure (per passenger) of $6 per 100km travelled is recommended. A share of E-tag and/or car-park/entry fee costs may need to be added. Leaders will ensure that passenger numbers are evenly allocated.
Members attending a walk should not turn up at the meeting place and automatically assume that they will be passengers. They should arrive in time and be prepared to drive their car if so requested by the Event Leader. Their car should be 'fuelled' and ready in the case of such an request. A Member who for any particular reason cannot or would not be prepared to act as a driver, if requested, should have notified the Event Leader of this, in advance.
Meeting place
The Leader (or deputy) will be at the nominated meeting place
before the departure time given on the registration sheet or in Walklines.
Leaders will not wait for you if you are not there by the departure time.
Club Emergency Contacts
All inquiries about late return of members must first be directed
to the Leader’s telephone number, then to the Club Contacts in the order given
below. Do not contact the police as they will not know of the club activity. The
police will be advised if the Club Contact believes that the party is in danger.
Premature contact with police could waste their time and may cause later
difficulties for the club.
