Pathfinders.....

Welcome to Pathfinders, our established walking group, primarily based in Shropshire.
What we aim to achieve is to provide walks in the countryside and give people the opportunity to meet up, enjoy each other's company whilst reaping the benefits of regular exercise. We welcome enthusiasts of all fitness levels. We intend to provide a variety of walks of varying lengths to promote health and wellbeing. We positively encourage our members who may have a favourite walk to share it with the group. If a member isn’t confident in leading the walk themselves then one of our leaders can help facilitate. All suggestions are welcomed.
Primarily this group is about walking with friends and exploring the beautiful countryside of Britain. Walks will be in Shropshire, the surrounding counties and parts of Wales.
All of our walk leaders are volunteers and although all walks will have been risk assessed, members are reminded that attendance is entirely at your own risk.

Group Funding Arrangements:
For many months now the leadership team have been considering how to finance the running of the group. We have also looked at what other groups are doing regarding funds and the majority of them levy a charge per walk of between £1:00 and £2:00.
We have looked at Pathfinders running costs and feel this level of charge per walk is not required. Our decision is to levy an annual charge of £2:00 per member.
So that this can be managed efficiently with full traceability of collection and use of funds we have put in place the following. We have appointed a treasurer who will manage all aspects of this funding and record keeping and we are very grateful to Paul Lamare for his help so far in this capacity. We have opened a Business bank account with HSBC. Details will be sent with a welcome message once new members are approved. Finally, please be assured Pathfinders remains a "not for profit" organisation and its leadership team are and will remain unpaid volunteers. We also hope you agree that the £2:00 annual levy represents exceptional value.
Thank you for your continued support.
