Harrow and Wembley Outdoor Group

Casuals have no automatic entitlement to attend our events and our group does not want or encourage casuals to do so. However we recognise that occasionally, past members may wish to join us; and current members may like to bring friends/family/partners to a few of our events. Hence we generally allow casuals to attend our events and to contribute to our group by paying the following surcharges:

A quarterly surcharge (QS) which allows a casual to attend all our events prefixed QS within the relevant year quarter; these start in October, January, April and July. The QS will be at least equal to ¼ price of our annual membership charge. The price for the QS is £10. Click here to pay the surcharge for the current quarter.
An event surcharge (ES) which allows a casual to attend a specific event. These events are prefixed ES and the price will depend on the event. If the event surcharge is £10 then it can be paid here (for other amounts, the event organiser must be paid by cash or cheque).
Payment of any surcharge does not entitle the casual to any of the benefits of membership.

Casuals can attend without surcharge the few events on our program not prefixed with QS or ES.

Exceptions: Friends of members or ex-members who are around only short term (a few months maximum) may be allowed to attend some group events without paying the QS. Casuals may be excused an ES if there is benefit to the group by their attendance. This could be when a fixed price has been paid for accommodation that is not filled by members and attendance by a casual reduces the price per person, or the casual has special skills/experience of benefit to group members on an event. These and all exceptions will be at the discretion of the committee.

Casuals are not allowed to use our group email for private benefit.

Everyone attending our events is subject to our rules.
