Notes for Walk Facilitators
You will need to take bookings for your walk by text during the days before the walk. Please reply to each person to let them know the booking has been received. In the event of more than 15 people booking, you will need to organise a second facilitator who will take a second group on a different route.
Names and phone numbers must be entered by you into the new sign-in sheet as well as tick marks if the walkers have answered no to the three Covid-19 questions and are current club members. If any of these two conditions are not met, the person should not be allowed on the walk. The new sign-in sheet can be downloaded here.

Before the walk remind everyone of the need for social distancing and the other necessary precautions listed above.
After the walk please take a photo of the completed sign-in sheet or sheets and send them to the phone number given at the bottom of the sheet.
