Celebrating The Rucksack Club’s 120th Birthday – Tuesday 11 Oct – Heaton Moor or on Zoom

Don’t forget to join us to celebrate 120 years since the founding of the Club with John Beatty and Volunteer All Stars (that’s you!) – Heaton Moor Rugby Club (and on Zoom)
Like all the best birthday parties it will feature cake, candles, beer and some photos from when the “Birthday Person” was growing up! This will split into two parts:
– John Beatty will take us on a whistle stop tour of the first 100 years, based on the centenary publication: This Mountain Life, for which he was the driving force.
– We’ll then hand over to you, the Club members, to fill in the most recent twenty years! Please email me with your favourite photos which capture the essence of being a ‘Rucksacker’ (no more than 5 each please!) and we’ll share these for the rest of the evening (and great if you can be there just to say a few words). email to dominic@oughton.uk.com.
If you can’t join us ‘in the room’ there’s plenty of space on Zoom (and you’d still be very welcome to share some photos).
Meeting ID: 828 0738 1553 – Passcode: The year of founding of the Club (do the maths!)
Entry is FREE for everyone – please do invite along friends and guests. There will also be a raffle and an auction of various items of climbing / outdoor equipment, with the proceeds going to charity, so if there’s something you’d like to find a new home for then bring it along 🙂 If things go according to plan you’ll also be able to purchase the 2023 Rucksack Club Calendar. Fingers crossed!
Cheers, Dom

PS Spoiler alert – This isn’t the cake (unless someone is feeling very creative!)
