The club has a 3 night stay booked at the Waterfront Bunkhouse, Carbost. We have stayed at this hostel before – the last visit was the
May Bank Holiday weekend in 2016. We have sole use of the hostel with 24 beds available. Skye has unlimited walking options
for all abilities and ages and this weekend meet has always been very popular and well attended.
The cost for this weekend is £30pppn, so £90 for the 3 nights.
Please contact Carolyn if you would like to book a place.
Visit to Tayside Mountain Rescue Association (TMRA) Base, Blairgowrie. Details to follow.

Drumnadrochit on the road to Cannich.
We have a total of 16 beds booked (1 x 3, 2 x 4 and 1 x5). The cost will be £75 for the 3 nights. (£25pppn.)

To all FDHWC Members
Hi Folks
As you are aware the AGM was held on Monday evening. Over 20 members attended. The minutes of the 2023 AGM and the 2023 accounts were approved,
new membership fees agreed (now due – see below) and a new committee elected:
President - Steve Wilson
Secretary - Morag Sangster
Treasurer - Ian Cochrane
Meet Secretary – Ray Campbell (re-elected)
Assistant Meet Secretary – Andy Malcolm
Committee Member - Fleur Baxter (re-elected)
I would like to thank those that stood down from the committee for their service to the Club in recent years - Linda (President), Carolyn (Secretary) and Willie
(Assistant Meet Secretary). Can I also thank the new committee for agreeing to serve in their posts.
As you will realise, I have stood down as Treasurer (as required by the Constitution), but have accepted the new post of President. Thank you for having
the confidence in me to lead the Club going forward.
From past experience, it will probably take quite a few weeks for Ian to ‘register’ with Bank of Scotland and get access to the Club’s banking facilities.
Therefore I will remain the ‘de facto’ Treasurer until such time as the banking formalities are completed.
Membership subscriptions now due:
• Full Member £30 (or £14 if you pay Mountaineering Scotland membership fee directly or via another Club)
• Associate Member £14
• Junior Member £14
The immediate priority for the new committee is to put together a programme of events going forward from the beginning of July. Your input would be appreciated,
therefore please put forward suggestions for day walks and weekend meets
to Ray, Meet Secretary
I will be in touch again soon.
Best Regards
Steve
