Sunday 18 January
Day Meet - Glen Sherup, Ochils, followed by Annual meal

The walk starts from the A823, about three and a half miles north of Yetts o' Muckhart, grid ref 972051.
The total distance is 16 km with 750 metres of ascent. We should complete it within six hours. Shorter walks will be possible if desired, eg around the reservoirs.
See map here.
Meet at the Myre car park at 8am. For those who want to go straight there, please be there by 9.15. We should be back down by 3.30, leaving enough time to get to Sinclair's Kitchen for the meal (5.00 for 5.30 pm). As usual, please let Ray know if you intend to come for the walk and whether you will meet us at the Myre or at the start of the walk.

If you would like to attend the meal at Sinclair’s Kitchen (near Forfar) 5pm for 5.30pm, please let Morag know and send your menu choices as soon as possible. Morag needs to confirm numbers and menu choices by Thursday evening (15th January). Please also let Morag know if you have any allergies or dietary needs.

Monday 2 February
Annual Photographic Competition

Our annual photo competition is fast approaching! Most of you are familiar with the arrangements, but please take a look at the structure and rules which can be found on the Club website.
To help with the administration and judging, it is preferable for entries to be submitted by email to Colin as attachments. Entries close on Thursday 15 January. The rules do allow prints to be submitted and these should be handed to Colin, or a committee member. There is to be a change of judge this year. Alex Roddie, current holder of both trophies, has kindly agreed to be the judge! Good luck with your entries.
