The events are open to the public and we welcome new participants. Anyone can VIEW the posted events and all the details. If you wish to PARTICIPATE in an event, you will need to join our Meetup group at no cost. Once you have joined the Bennington GMC Meetup group, you can click the ATTEND button to show your intention to attend the event. If you change your mind, or are not able to attend, please go back to the Meetup group and change your status to NOT GOING.
If you have questions or need further information about the event, please post a comment in the comment section on the Bennington GMC Meetup group and the trip leader will respond. If the event changes, all participants will receive an email through Meetup, as well as a comment posted on the Meetup group. If you, as a participant of the event, do not receive an email, assume that the event is as originally posted. However, it is good practice to check the Meetup site the day before the event. |

GENERAL SAFETY REMINDERS
Here are a few general safety guidelines. Check the Outdoor Safety page to see more details about safety. Always check the description of the event to ascertain the difficulty level to see if your fitness level is appropriate. Bring food and water to all outdoor events.

You may want to include a head net in buggy season. In colder weather pack extra layer(s) and a spare pair of socks. Always pack a flashlight or headlamp.
