COVID RULES
There are some rules which we ask walkers to follow closely if the new arrangements are going to work.
- All walks will begin at the Rectory Garden and you must arrive VIA THE MAIN GATE, not via the steps beside the Village Hall.
- Walkers should bring and carry hand sanitiser or wear gloves to use should you need to touch a gate etc.
- There will be one 'Meet & Greet' person taking the register, initially this is likely to be myself or John Ashton. Walkers should give their name to this person on entering the garden.
- For walks where we have planned to have two groups the leaders will be stationed in separate areas of the Garden and you will the told by the Meeter & Greeter which group you will be walking with.
- Those want to walk with a particular person should meet up prior to arrival at the Rectory Garden so that they can both be allocated the same group. We will aim to keep the groups to even numbers so please be prepare to be flexible.
- If there are more than 36 people, any additional walkers will not be able to join a lead walk that day. They can of course walk without a leader but must not join onto either of the groups of 20.
- The groups will leave the Rectory Garden via the gates into the Churchyard and there will be a few minutes between departure of the two groups to ensure that there is not one large group leaving at the same time.
- The the two main leaders will plan to use different routes and we will not use the High Street or the station footbridge to avoid attracting any criticism from people in the village.
- Walkers must maintain social distancing at all times and try to avoid any conflict with members of the public.

Leaders
We have have a pool of 40 trained leaders. However not all are 'active' as some are 'indisposed' for various reasons. We are always on the lookout for more leaders, or back up leaders (who do not need formal training to make a difference). Get in touch with Bernard if you would like to find out more about being a leader.
There is no need for regular commitment or to be a main leader, you will be just as welcome to become a back up leader.
