Benefits of Membership

We are very keen for all Outdoor Activity Providers active in South Wales and the Brecon Beacons National Park to join SWOAPG, so that all providers:

have the opportunity to receive e-mail alerts for important issues (such as access and environment) that may effect activity providers and delivery in the South Wales area;
are aware of issues and opportunities relating to outdoor activities in South Wales;
are able to sign up to the NRW Waterfalls Area Concordat if they are gorge users;
can benefit from the group in terms of information, training, representation and sharing best practice;
have ongoing opportunities for networking and inter-business benefits; and
will benefit from our work in maintaining access agreements and securing new ones
