All the walks, weekends away and most socials go on the website. However, we also have a MSN messageboard for group members, where a lot of the our more informal activities and messages tend to go. Anything from lift share to flat share, theatre to festivals, cinema to house parties, cycling to holiday trips.

To join, you will need

  • To be a member of the Ramblers Association nationally and affiliated to our local group.

  • Your RA membership number and expiry date. This is printed on your membership card (normally arrives within 2-3 weeks).

  • An email account.

How to join

  • Click here to go to the message board. You will be presented with a page saying that it is members only, with a link on it allowing you to join the group.

  • Click to join the group.

  • Note: it may ask you to create a ‘MSN Passport’ if you don’t have a hotmail email account.

  • Enter your membership number and expiry date into the textbox and then click send.

Hints and Tips

  • The firewalls of some organisations’ networks block access to the MSN messageboard you may need to initially set access up on another non-firewalled computer.

  • If you can’t access the messageboard directly, it can be set up to send out copies of the messages to an accessible email account.

  • There are several messages a day, it may well be worth setting the messageboard to provide a daily summary, rather than every message.
