Twelve months ago, Keith Towell booked Beudy for this forthcoming weekend (9-11 September). I made a note on last year’s planner chart but didn’t transfer it onto this year’s calendar. Keith will be at Beudy with at least 8 others. Fortunately (?), the hut is empty so all is well.

I’m away from the 6th until the 21st of September Please contact Steve Gregory if you want to book Beudy. Thanks

With cancellations and last minute requests, I thought I’d give you a quick update. Plenty of room this weekend (just 3 or 4 people in), then we have ‘dads and kids’ in during the following week. It’s great to see Members taking their kids to Beudy ( I know the location is not ideal in some respects – on a main road, for instance) but we are looking at the future of the Club here and Steve and I are happy to encourage more use like this. Having said that, there is still space available. Similarly, over the Bank Holiday weekend, only Mike Zeidan ,Julie and little Evie have booked in up to now. September and October bookings are as previously published. In November, the hut has been booked by the Red Rope walking and climbing group for the weekend of 26th/27th. As usual, please let me or Steve Gregory know if you want to stay at Beudy.

Due to a cancellation, Beudy is completely free from today until Friday and even then there will be plenty of room over the weekend.

Its a bit late, I know, but a selection of images from last year is now available to view. I’m no longer going to put out a monthly gallery. Instead, I will be curating a collection for ‘2022 – A YEAR IN PICTURES’ which will be published at the end of the year. Please send me any pictures you have taken so far that you would like to be included. I’ll put a reminder out towards the end of the year for any others.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the original booking for the whole hut from Tuesday 9th to Thursday 11th August has been cancelled. This means Beudy is available all next week. Please let me know if you intend going. Thanks

Mike Hartley has booked 6 spaces from 16 to 18 August and Colin Spencer will be there with his 2 kids on 22/23 August. As usual, let me or Steve G know if you want to make a booking. The Beudy Hut Bookings Calendar on the website shows availability up to the end of this year. The reminder is that Covid has not gone away and anyone wanting to make a booking needs to acquaint themselves with the Club guidance on Covid to be found in the Huts section of the website. Enjoy the summer! Bill

I have been advised that a Member staying at Beudy tested positive for Covid this morning. The Member has now vacated the hut after cleaning and sanitising/sterilising all items used. Any people that the Member has come into contact with since arriving at the hut have been or will be contacted, as will people who have booked in this week and for this coming weekend.

Here we go for the next month or so. This month – Phil Sorrell and Veterans in Sefton are in from tonight until Wednesday. You might find Gareth LLewellyn in residence from then. Jen Scottney has booked Thursday night. In July, Bill Rowntree and Gerry have booked from the 13th to the 15th. John Jefferies meet is on the weekend of 16th/17th. Book direct with John for that. Alan Winn has 3 places booked for 19th /20th and the Peak Climbing club have 11 spaces booked for 22nd to 24th. Sam Salmon has booked 4 spots from the 26th to the 1st of August. In August, don’t miss Steve Gregory’s Club Meet on the weekend of 6th/7th. Phil Sorrell is back with veterans in Sefton from Tuesday the 9th until Thursday the 11th. So, still plenty of time and space to book your stay in the best hut in the world (in my humble opinion)!
