VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED
For those wanting to attend, the Programme and ticket arrangements can be found here
An event such as this cannot take place without a large team of volunteers. The organisers have approached us as they are short of numbers
and still need some additional help during the event to distribute tickets, guide visitors, sell raffle tickets, etc. If you would like
to assist, please let me know and I will pass on the contact details. Note: you are not required to attend every session, one or two
sessions will be of help and you may even get to attend a session before or after you are not assisting.
This is our second recent attempt, the Meet last December having been cancelled due to the weather.
We will approach the hill from the west on the A939. Weather and time permitting, we can do a circuit
and include Mona Gowan, a Graham at 749m. Morven is the highest top, a Corbett, at 872m.
The total distance is 17km with an ascent of 940m.
See map here.
We should manage it in 6.5 hours
so there should be enough daylight to do the full circuit. Travelling time from Forfar should be just
over an hour and a half. We can return from the top of Morven by the outer route, which would be a bit shorter,
if the weather or time should be against us.
Meet at the Myre at 7am as usual. If you would prefer to go straight there, meet near Glenfenzie on
the A939 (ref NJ314029) about 8.45am.
Please let Ray know if you are coming and whether you are meeting at the Myre or going straight there.
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.
