I have read the Code of Conduct of the Gay Sunday Walking Group and will abide by it when participating in GSWG activities. I understand that neither the GSWG nor the leader of any walk accepts responsibility for a mishap or injury occurring on a walk and that a leader is not acting in the capacity of a specialist guide or instructor. I understand that the GSWG will hold my membership details on electronic media.
