# Group Rules

As a Ramblers member with Stag Walkers as your home group, and/or member of Stag Walkers’ Meetup/Facebook group, you are expected to adhere to the following Group Rules:

1. Be kind and courteous - no bullying, harassing, rude or unwelcome behaviour towards other members in person or online. 
Unwelcome behaviour includes unsolicited and/or repeated private messages to group members. Get to know members on walks and ask permission from a member in person if you’d like to contact them outside group activities.

2. Adhere to the [Stag Walkers Group Charter](https://stagwalkers.org.uk/about-us/group-charter) and the Ramblers Values:

3. On our online channels:

* no promotions, spam or sales posts (second-hand gear/maps etc. allowed at buyer’s and seller’s own risk) 

* no sponsorship posts for other charities (if you're raising money for the Ramblers, that's fine)

* no sharing walking/social events that compete with Stag Walkers' own events - ask the admins first if you’re unsure

* keep it walking related!

Stag Walkers welcomes everyone and we want you to have fun and enjoy walking with the group. If you ever feel that you’ve had a bad experience, you are concerned about another member, or you’ve received unwanted contact or attention please tell one of the committee in confidence by email to stagwalkers @ gmail .com (without spaces) or by asking for a chat on or after a walk. You can also contact the committee individually via https://stagwalkers.org.uk/contact-us.
