Members wishing to attend a field meeting, (or who have to cancel); are asked to inform either the Field Meetings Secretary or the Chairman at least three weeks in advance, as it may be necessary to alter arrangements.
Longer notice will be required for weekend Field Meetings so that accommodation can be arranged. Details will be supplied on the booking form, or as soon as it becomes available.
A leader will be appointed for each field trip to ensure that the group complies with laws, bye-laws, health and safety requirements, codes of conduct, and to ensure that the group is adequately equipped to handle emergencies.
His or her instructions must be obeyed at all times.
Members will be asked to provide contact information and any special medical condition of which the Leader should be aware. Members should come with appropriate clothing and equipment for the envisaged Field Trip and must pay particular attention to safety instructions given by the Leader. If in doubt, ASK!
