House Working Party

I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped this weekend to repaint much of the clubhouse. A massive amount has been achieved.

For those who weren't able to come along, please don't feel guilty as another day will be arranged in the next few weeks to finish a few things off, followed by an outside working party before the start of the season.

Watch this space for arrangements.

Thanks once again.

Winter Walk

This year's walk was very well attended with over 30 people venturing out on a variety of routes over and around Sale Fell. There was the so called easy route for those with children and prams, but even was abut five miles and took three hours. The energetic route took the walkers over Sale Fell, and they arrived back at the club slightly before the others. However, they left enough of the hot chocolate on offer for the rest of the walkers! After a picnic lunch, it was time for more of a natter and then home.

Sad News

It is with sadness we have learnt that Mike Turner recently passed away after bravely fighting a long illness. He set himself, and successfully completed, various challenges over the last couple of years including completing a mile and a half swim for charity. Mike has been a member for more than 35 years. Our thoughts are with his wife, children and grand children at this sad time.

Mike's funeral took place on Friday 21st January in the woodland burial site chapel, Carlisle Cemetery. 

Also, we have been informed that former member (from 1970s) John Parnaby recently died suddenly. He leaves a wife and children.

 

AGM

The 59th Annual General Meeting was held in the Clubhouse on Sunday 28th December 2010 and attended by approx 20 members.

The various reports circulated with the notice of the meeting were received, and the audited accounts adopted. It was noted that the accounts had not been circulated to all members, but agreed that they would be circulated to the membership in future years with the notice of AGM.

After some discussion, it was agreed, with a significant majority, that the subscription rates should all be increased by 3% (rounded up to the next whole pound).
