Forfar & District Hill Walking Club

Sunday 18 January

Day Meet - Glen Sherup, Ochils, followed by Annual meal

The walk starts from the A823, about three and a half miles north of Yetts o' Muckhart, grid ref 972051.
The total distance is 16 km with 750 metres of ascent. We should complete it within six hours. Shorter walks will be possible if desired, eg around the reservoirs.
See map here.
Meet at the Myre car park at 8am. For those who want to go straight there, please be there by 9.15. We should be back down by 3.30, leaving enough time to get to Sinclair's Kitchen for the meal (5.00 for 5.30 pm). As usual, please let Ray know if you intend to come for the walk and whether you will meet us at the Myre or at the start of the walk.

If you would like to attend the meal at Sinclair’s Kitchen (near Forfar) 5pm for 5.30pm, please let Morag know and send your menu choices as soon as possible. Morag needs to confirm numbers and menu choices by Thursday evening (15th January). Please also let Morag know if you have any allergies or dietary needs.

Annual Photographic Competition

UPDATE: Hi Folks Further to my last email, and after contact with Colin and judge Alex Roddie, I can confirm we can now receive entries up until midday on Saturday 17 January.
So for those of you who have not got round to submitting your photos don’t be hesitant and get your entries in! Remember there are two trophies to be won (and importantly chocolate oranges) and there have been many different winners over the years. Who knows what our new judge will be looking for as he assesses the entries? Everyone is in with a chance.
Thanks to those of you who have already submitted your entries.
Best Regards, Steve

Our annual photo competition is fast approaching! Most of you are familiar with the arrangements, but please take a look at the structure and rules which can be found on the Club website.
To help with the administration and judging, it is preferable for entries to be submitted by email to Colin as attachments. Entries close on Thursday 15 January. The rules do allow prints to be submitted and these should be handed to Colin, or a committee member. There is to be a change of judge this year. Alex Roddie, current holder of both trophies, has kindly agreed to be the judge! Good luck with your entries.
