UFRC are keen to build up a database of e-mail addresses of individual club members , this allows our Officers to send information directly .  Many walking clubs do not have regular internal meetings so dissemination of information from club secretaries is sometimes slow. If you wish to be contacted in this way either send the name, club  and e-mail address directly to our
Secretary
