How Can I Join Brunel Walking Group?

If you'd like to join Brunel Walking Group, then you do so by joining the Ramblers Association and nominating us as your group. You can do this either online via the RA website, or by filling in a membership form (which you can usually get from any committee member) and then sending this off to the Freepost address given on the leaflet.

 

N.B. When filling in the form, make sure that you write 'Brunel Activity & Walking Group (AV-50)' in the box marked "Group". If you don't, you will be assigned to another local group in the Bristol or Bath area.

 

The cost is £31.50 per year for individuals with reductions for joint memberships and other categories, and can be paid by the usual methods, including Direct Debit.
