Follow these steps to book a place on a trail or weekend away:

  • No advance bookings. Phone the hike leader at the opening date & time given in the calendar (not before).
  • Members get preference, visitors names will be placed on the waiting list. If the trail is not filled the visitors will be invited from the waiting list.
  • If you cannot book then ask a friend to book for you.
  • Give the Trail Leader all your contact details.
  • The Trail Leader has the right of Refusal.
  • A member may book for one other person (including a non-member, though preference is given to members).
  • No cheques, only EFT or direct deposits.
  • Please deposit your Trail fee directly in the ‘Meridian Hiking Club’ bank account: Nedbank, Claremont Branch; Branch Code: 104609; CURRENT A/C No.1046348396. Advise Jenni at trails@meridian.org.za and copy to treasurer@meridian.org.za with your deposit details. Include your name and the Trail name for identification.
  • You will need to make your own Travel arrangements.
  • All weekends away and trails must be paid for in full within two hours of booking, otherwise the booking falls away and goes to the next person on the list. Send receipt to trails@meridian.org.za to secure your booking.
  • Cancellations: No refunds can be made.
  • In the event of you needing to cancel it is your responsibility to find a replacement.
  • The Trail Leader will have a waiting list, the names on the waiting list will be given to you with contact details. The Trail Leader will assist as far as possible to help you find a replacement.
  • You must contact the people on the waiting list first.
  • If a replacement cannot be found from the list you are entitled to go elsewhere, but the replacement must be accepted by the Trail Leader.
  • Financial arrangements will be between yourselves i.e. refunding of the Trail fee.
  • If a replacement cannot be found you will forfeit the fee.

Notes:

  • Risk: Members and guests participate in club activities at their own risk. Listen to the hike leader’s instructions.
  • Children & dogs: Please call the leader to find out if she/he is happy to take children (with parent) on a hike, or if dogs are welcome.
