Paul Hudson congratulated
the Club members on another successful year. He referred to several
particularly well attended and adventurous meets, for example, the snow holing
meet, North Wales Meet, Scafell Meet, Lyke Wake Walk. He thanked the
membership for their support of the meets and for generating the ideas of where
to go. He made special comment to Gareth M for his suggestion of the Lyke Wake Walk and thanked the support crew of James and
Caroline Corden, without whom we would still be
somewhere passing Fylingdales Early Warning Station.
He congratulated John on his retirement and thanked him for organising a
special walk from North to South across the North York Moors.
Steve Girt

to the Rules for the benefit of all members and friends.
