During the COVID-19 crisis and given Scottish Government restrictions on sport and social gatherings, we are unable to offer club meets and socials on a normal basis.

It's nearly time to start this summer's programme of Wednesday evening walks, so we're looking for volunteers to organise them. All you need to do is:

The April orienteering will be on Wednesday 10th April, and will involve part of the fixed course in Vogrie Country Park, and part of a course set by me.

It was wet! It was windy! The toilet didn't work! Nobody brought Bananagrams! Despite which, we had a good weekend.

As summer is slowly creeping up on us, the midweek rock climbing programme has now been published for the year. See here.

As always, the club hut is available for use over the Easter weekend for club members.

The first meeting of the new committee has taken place. Building on discussions at the AGM we focussed on ideas for improving the website, communications and encouraging new membership.

Margaret and I took a sneaky autumn trip to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado this year. From Denver Airport we visited Boulder, Estes Park, Breckenridge and Leadville.
