HiTAC July 2020

President’s Desk Hi folks, We’ve past the shortest day already but does anyone else feel like it’s been a phoney winter so far? After some reasonable snow fall over a month ago there’s been nothing but mild temperatures and recent rains have all but washed that all away.

See the trips section for details. Anyone interested in getting involved in club trips, please get in touch with Ange. […]

There’s been a bunch of highlights, and I’m probably doing a disservice to many by not mentioning them all but let’s start with what I actually joined up to this club to do about what feels like a million years ago, and that is the getting out there, up […]
