Events

Find all our events on the South Herts Hikers Meetup Group and sign up for events on-line.

We also have an Events Page for further information about selected events such as weekends away and a Routes Page with hiking routes that you can follow independently.

Membership

You can join our group by clicking 'Join Us' on the Meetup Group. You then become a prospective member and you can sign up for events on Meetup. Although our events are shown on Meetup as free, from 1st Jan 2025, this group has introduced a monthly membership subscription of £4 per month. You only pay for months when you actually attend an event. Anyone who attends an event needs to be a member of South Herts Hikers, including guests and your membership subscription lasts for one calendar month from the date when you pay. We typically organise at least one event per month, sometimes two or three and during the month while your membership subscription is valid, you can attend other Group events (if any) with no extra charge. This subscription contributes towards the costs of running this Group which is run by volunteers on a not-for-profit basis. Organisers need to pay fees to Meetup which increased by 80% from July 2024. The membership fee does not include any cost of travel, meals, accommodation, etc. You can pay using cash (preferred) or Paypal (details on Meetup events)

Please note our membership criteria and guidelines for etiquette. From this Group's Meetup homepage see What we're about > Read More

We may also organise weekends away, where you can sign up and reserve a place provisionally without payment but you need to pay for accommodation before your place is confirmed. For weekends away, there is normally a charge if you cancel.

Please see the Membership page for further details.
