Isle of Eigg. Saturday October 13th – Tuesday 16th.

This year the island meet will be on Eigg. I have booked some accommodation in the north of the island near Cleadale. However the accommodation is already fully booked by ‘early bookers’, but there is plenty of space to camp in the grounds of the property. The ferry leaves Mallaig on Saturday 13th at 14.25 and returns from Eigg on Tuesday 16th leaving at 12.45 arriving back in Mallaig at 15.30. Craigallan has been reserved for our use on the nights before and after the meet if so required. If you are interested in coming along please contact me on my normal email address: andy.lou64@virginmedia.com Thanks Andy

50 years of High Moss May

High Moss at 50. May 18/19/20th 2018. Jean and Andy Llewellyn High Moss was officially opened by Frank Kiernan on the 18th of May 1968. So fifty years to the day will be Friday 18th May 2018. We therefore intend arriving at High Moss earlier that week so that celebrations can commence on the Friday. Hopefully the weather will be kind and a couple of good walks are planned for the Friday and Saturday and also climbing on the local crags, or of course just come along and do what you please. There are already a good number booked on the meet (quite a lot of camper vans) so there is still room within the hut. Or for a quite night camping could be a good idea! Food will be provided for the Saturday evening celebrations, but please bring your own booze or other refreshments. It would also be good to have a display of pictures from ‘down the years’ particularly from the early days of the hut or other notable events. So please bring along on the day or ideally send copies in advance. To ensure we have enough provisions please email Jean (see handbook for contact details) by[…]

Outdoor Meets Programme May 2018 to April 2019. The Club needs YOU.

Good progress is being made in completing the next Outdoor Programme, however there are still a number of weekends free. I am therefore looking for volunteers to co-ordinate meets. So if you are a ‘veteran’ of such things or even better if you haven’t organised a meet before what a great way of getting yourself ingrained into the Club activities …… so don’t hold back, let that germ of an idea flourish into a fantastic meet for us all to enjoy. Please contact me on email: andy.lou64@virginmedia.com or on the usual phone numbers. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks Andy Llewellyn
