Events Calendar
The following information and guidelines relates to all HMG events.
Inclement weather or insufficient numbers attending may mean the event is cancelled or rescheduled at short notice. Although we will make best effort to inform HMG members in good time if there are issues, you should always contact the organiser:
To register your interest
To confirm exact meeting point if not specified precisely in the article
To confirm that the event has not been called off, especially if you intend to travel a long way
If you don't already have the email address of the event organiser, please contact them via HMG's email address; your message
will be forwarded to them. GDPR does not allow us to give their address without their consent
Start times are 'prompt' please; end times (when given) are approximate. Times are given in 24 hour clock, unless stated to the
contrary
Due to insurance requirements, if you are not a fully paid-up member of HMG, you may not be able to attend or we may restrict what we allow you to do in our outdoor activities
Indoor events may incur an entry fee to cover costs (speaker/room hire). All events are arranged by HMG unless indicated to the contrary
Previous events can be viewed on the Archived Events Calendar page.
