Our annual subscription is £20 per person.  Our subscription year starts on 1 ^st. October and ends on 30^th September.  Those who join for the first time after 1^st. April pay just £8.

If you are not sure about joining the club, you can come on one or two of our walks for a ‘taster’ session.  But if you want to continue walking with us we would then expect you to become a member.

The easiest way to join is to come along to one of our monthly meetings (see Q.5 below) and pay your subscription.  There is a very easy form to fill in for contact details  Alternatively you can send your details by post to our Membership Secretary:

 * Fred Coyne,  0151 547 4182  or  fredcoyne@virginmedia.com

Please make cheques payable to "Maghull Ramblers".

We meet at 7.30 pm on the first TUESDAY of each month in a Function Room on the first floor at Maghull Town Hall. There is ample parking at the front of the building.

See the Monthly Club Nights   page for further details.

We have walks to suit all ages and abilities.  See the Programme of Walks     page for further details.

There are three things to consider:

1. The grade of the walk.
2. The amount of climbing.
3. The time taken.

We grade our walks as:

• Strenuous (S);
• Hard (H);
• Moderate (M); or
• Easy (E).

Further information is shown in our Programme of Walks page.

If you haven’t done much walking before, we suggest that you choose one of the easier walks to start with.

We use three different means of transport:

• Coach.
• Own car.
• Public transport.

We arrange a monthly coach trip, which is very popular and seats are normally booked in advance at our monthly meeting.  The current fare is £15 for members and £18  for non-members.

For trips by own car or public transport, just turn up at the meeting point shown in the programme.  For the car trips staring at Central Square, Maghull, we provide directions to reach the starting point of the walk.

It all depends on the type of walk and the time of the year.  In  section 2 below:     What to wear on walks   we offer advice about clothing and equipment for those who want to go on more hard or strenuous hill walks, especially in Winter. 

But you wouldn’t need all of that if you were going on say, a Summer evening walk in the surrounding countryside. 

But whatever you choose, we do recommend that you always wear a pair of walking boots. 

Trainers are not really suitable for walking over rough ground.
