Sunday 12th August 2018 - Day Meet - Beinn Mhanach
Bus cancelled due to low numbers. Meet changed to Glenshee. This was cancelled due to weather and only 2 names.
Monday 6th August 2018 - Outdoors Open Meeting
16 members, 1 guest and two dogs attended a fine balmy evening in Edzell. The walk went up stream along the river North Esk, gaining the path from the back of the Panmure Hotel. The group followed the track on the west bank upto the Gannochy bridge, then crossed the road and walked along the path on the other side until a steep descent and rough walking along the river itself, over the shaky bridge, up Gassy Brae to the High Street and back to the cars. 1.5 hours. Everyone enjoyed their walk.
Next Meeting : Monday 3rd September
At Forfar Fire Station at 19:30. Open Meeting followed by a Photo Quiz, by John Dawson.

Next Weekend Meet : Friday 28th - Sunday 30th September - Gairloch
Booking are now open for this weekend. On the printed meet calendar it is showing that we are going to Torridon Youth Hostel but there has been an issue with the booking and we are now going to Gairloch Sands Youth Hostel, which is in the same area and gets good reviews. We've got a full hostel booking and it sleeps 31, so if anyone else wants to join us let Neil know (see here for contact details). Also open if anyone wants to bring guests. Price is £47 for the weekend. Clare will be delighted to take payment into the club account in the normal manner.
