How do I join your group?
You are very welcome to walk with us up to three times before deciding to join us and become a member. To join us you must first join our parent organisation Ramblers. Ramblers are Britain’s biggest walking charity and promote walking for health and pleasure. They also campaign to protect the footpath network, to increase access rights for walkers and to protect the countryside.
To join Ramblers go to www.ramblers.org.uk (it is important not to forget to nominate SABRE as your chosen group or you could end up anywhere). There is no charge for each walk; but our normal annual membership fee is £31.00 single and £41.00 joint membership (2 adults at the same address); From time to time there are special deals for new members. Contact sabremembership@saww.org.uk for details.

I have a dog, when I join can I bring him along?
Providing the walk leader is advised, you can bring him along. You must keep him under your close control at all times and you take responsibility for his behaviour. Walks where dogs are not allowed are usually marked “No dogs please” on the programme.

How do I join my first walk?
Just come along and meet us at the start of one of  our walks.  If you wish you could let us know when you are coming on one of your first walks, so we can ask the walk leader to look out for you.  

Can I bring a friend?
You are welcome to bring along non-member friends or relations. The same rule applies to them – they can have up to three introductory walks; but after that they must join Ramblers.

What do you do for lunch on an all day walk?
We often stop for a pub lunch; but some members bring their own picnic to eat.

How can I get more information?
We are run by a small enthusiastic committee, who are all Rambler volunteers.  Our chairman is Eric Holes, Helen Dyer is group secretary, Derek Bunn is treasurer, Syd Mepham is membership secretary, Dave Lambert and Julie Holes are general committee members and Nigel Woodhead  co-ordinates between SAWW and SABRE. Send an email to sabremembership@SAWW.org.uk for more information.

If I belong to another Ramblers group can I transfer to SABRE?
Go to the Ramblers web site and find “Register a change to my record”  http://www.ramblers.org.uk/membership/registerchng.  If you are a current SAWW member, go to the SAWW Members page where there are is a quick transfer box in the bottom right hand corner. Note that the short code for SABRE is SR51 and SAWW is SR40.
