Who are we ?
Ramblers Bradford Group is your official local group of the Ramblers, Britain's largest walking charity.
The group puts on a programme of Evening Walks throughout the year, with occasional daytime events. All walks are volunteer led by Ramblers members, are free of charge and welcome all who wish to come along and join in; whether members or not. Evening walks are on alternate Wednesday and Thursday evenings all year round, starting at 7pm. They are usually between 4 and 5 miles in length, and approximately 2 hours in duration. Winter walks are sometimes a bit longer if on very good surfaces where no stiles are involved. However, they can be slightly shorter when there's a lot of mud about!
At the end of each walk everyone who wishes is welcomed to a social gathering at the nearest watering hole! From time to time leaders organise food too. Sometimes this is provided free by the pub. At other times tickets are sold in advance. Each walk programme always ends with Cheers! A shorter walk and a longer drink! Tickets for food go on sale in the prior 5-6 weeks.
New leaders are always welcome and receive whatever support we can give. Helpers likewise. We can only function thanks to all the support given freely by our supporters.
If you enjoy our walks, please consider joining the Ramblers and helping them to continue to work for walkers.
New leaders always welcome. Contact us to lead a walk. (Leaders must be Ramblers members for insurance purposes)

**IMPORTANT NOTICE**
A very big thank you to Kevin who has taken over as Secretary from Malcolm Pitt, who had been our secretary for approximately 17 years. When our former chairman resigned Malcolm took on that role too. At our AGM on Nov 11th he stood down from these roles, although he will continue to work on the publicity aspects. Our heartfelt Thanks go to Malcolm for all his work over the years.
VACANT POST
We are still looking for a Chairman. If you feel you could help by taking on this role please contact any of the committee members below. At present we are rotating the job amongst us.
We are also looking for people willing to shadow or help out any of the other committee members. Many hands make light work!
