HiTAC December 2018

President’s Desk

We’ve had a huge number of entries for the club’s Annual Photographic competition and these are now with the judges. There are some incredibly beautiful photos in the competition. We’ll view these and have a few drinks to celebrate the end of 2017 at the December club night, usual venue, Thursday 7 December at 7.30 pm.

The latest FMC bulletins have now arrived and you can collect yours at the above mentioned club night, or follow the link below to view online. FMC actually had the online Bulletin available prior to the hard copy being delivered to clubs. You can see the results of the FMC Photo Competition in this edition. Unfortunately our own club entries did not place on this occasion, but there are certainly some brilliant photos to view!

As mentioned in the last column, if you usually help out at our Open Climb event, but definitely can’t make it this year (Saturday 17 February), can you please flick me an email and let me know. If you have friends/workmates who are wanting to register, you can let them know that registrations are open from Friday 1 December on the club’s website.

Don’t forget to put your name down early if you would like to take part in some of the awesome trips that Sophie has organised. A big thank you to those club members who have put their hand up to lead trips. Club members have an impressive knowledge of our mountain and it is very rewarding to see their enthusiasm to introduce others to some of the lesser known areas.
