  • To send you news and upcoming events within the club, via email and / or post.
  • Your name will be sent to Event Teams and Event leaders if you are on the approved or provisional walk leader list, you have volunteered to lead worship or use your musical skills in club worship, or offered to lead an event.

  • The first name and surname of any guest is used to monitor guest attendances at club events. The club allows such attendance in order to ‘try out’ the club, limiting the extent of such attendance per guest. From time to time, these limits may also be relevant to the club’s liability insurance policy.

We may take photographs at club events and these may be included in promotional material such as on the club's website, or on the club social media pages.
