Unless I misheard, this year’s camping weekend will take place from early evening on Friday 23rd August to some time after we all wake up again on Sunday 25th. Kirsty will no doubt be along with full details when she feels so moved. In the meantime, I understand this year’s jamboree will feature the usual melange of activities including the now classic fell race from Ashford on the Water on Sat am; the wannabe classic cyclo-cross car crash for kids (and grown up kids), and probably lots of cake, on the Sat pm; a BBQ and some thrashing about in the woods for the kids again on Sat night; and – it is rumoured – Gavin may be putting on a wine tasting event on the Friday evening to ensure the ongoing embourgeoisement of the club.
As ever, everyone is welcome to attend all or just part of the weekend; new members and their families are especially welcome – for many, a better way to get to know your fellow club members than simply grunting at one another across a crowded bar in the Sportsman.
