# Join Us

New members are always welcome. Why not try one of our regular walks or pub meets? There is no charge for trying a few of our events to see if the group is for you. If you want to become a regular member of the group, you will be expected to join the Ramblers.

### How to join

You can join by picking up a leaflet on one of our walks, or online (on the [Ramblers website – Join Online](http://www.ramblers.org.uk/become-a-member.aspx)). Whichever way you join, **please include the group code ES50 in the appropriate box, otherwise we do not receive correct notification of your joining!**

When you join, it is also a good idea to e-mail the Membership Secretary so that you can be added to our distribution list for updates about events.

### Membership benefits

By joining, you will get access to a range of benefits:

* Access to all our walks, social events and weekends away.
* *Walk*: a high-quality quarterly magazine.
* The Rambler’s yearbook: containing a mass of useful information about walking and places to stay.
* Discounts in a range of outdoor shops. Typically:

Joining supports our group to run and helps to support the work of the Ramblers’ Association in campaigning to improve access to the countryside.
