Celebrating The Rucksack Club’s 120th Birthday with John Beatty and Volunteer All Stars (that’s you!)

Celebrating The Rucksack Club’s 120Celebrating The Rucksack Club’s 120th Birthday with John Beatty and Volunteer All Stars (that’s you!)

The Club celebrates 120 years since its founding on 13th October 1902, and we’re holding a Birthday Party to celebrate. 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

Also available on Zoom, details to be supplied
