Let’s Keep It Positive

Remember that everyone is participating in our club for personal reasons. Often these reasons are related to positive change in social life, physique, or health.  We expect members to be supportive and respectful of this concept and appreciate our work-out time together in a positive manner, regardless of challenging weather or circumstances.

Let’s Be Prepared

Please bring your own water, sport drinks, gels and snacks to practice.  Proper shoes and clothing for weather conditions that can change rapidly and sun block are a must.  Experienced members of the club are happy to share their knowledge in this area.

Let’s Be Friendly

Don’t be shy - walking is so much more fun with a friend. See how many new friends you can make.  We walk so we can be fit and savor the experience of the beautiful place we live in. We are a club so we can do that together.

Save Competition for the Racecourse

Workout time is for gaining confidence but not at the expense of others.  As walkers, we are often left to be content with a personal best as the only prize we can win in local events.  Our practice time together as a club needs to focus on building each other up. Please offer critiques or advice only if you’ve been asked to do so.  We hope to gain support from the community in the future so we can have walking division prizes to compete for in local events. The racecourse is the only place and time competitive behavior is appropriate.

Let’s Be Comrades

Strength in numbers is the best way to bring community awareness and respect to our sport.  We all offer something valuable to the club:  our life experience, personality and love of walking!  Many an ex-runner has turned to walking as a great way to stay active with significant reduction of injury. Many have not previously had a sport but find walking is a vital key to good health.  Everyone has a story, and we can all benefit from walking!

Yahoo group protocol

Please be aware that your message will be posting to dozens of busy people.  Please keep personal conversations between you and your friend to an outside source of communication.  Our group e-mail is to notify members of important club related activity and information, and to discuss walking-related topics.
