WSC AGM Monday 10th November

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Hi Everyone,

You are all invited to this years WSC AGM which will be held on Monday 10th November at The Honest Lawyer, Croxdale, Durham DH1 3SP commencing at 8pm. The format for the evening will be a brief business meeting followed by a talk and slide show by Stuart Gallagher who many of you will know. Stu is an intrepid explorer with many expeditions, first summits etc to his name and the theme for the night is a medley of adventures include Climbing in Yosemite, Kayaking in Glacier Bay, Traverse of Mount Waddington Range (British Columbia) and the Dangers of the 'Road less travelled' (apparently meeting up with woolly bears etc.).

The agenda, minutes and accounts have all been sent out to to the registered email addresses of members but if anyone has not received them I am happy to forward them on.

Apart from a few small jobs outstanding we are ready for the season and can open as soon as we get any snow. To whet the appetite here are links to a couple of ski videos. One is from Kevin entitled "Weardale 2013"  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlFwdNG1G4E and the other is an edited version of the early days of WSC from 1963 to 1971 which was shown at our 50th Anniversary meal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6t7__zkJq4

LD Mountain centre in Newcastle are also offering WSC members 20% off full priced winter clothing and equipment + free delivery by using the discount code SNOW15 at the checkout but hurry the offer ends 4th November.

Hope to see many of you at the AGM

A final reminder to all members who have not renewed membership yet, we are nearly full with less than 90 places left after which time we will close. Existing members have until the end of this month to renew without paying the joining/late fee but if you leave it that late you will be disappointed as the way it is looking I think we will close in the next week or so. A big thank you to all those who have renewed and hope we offer you a fantastic season. For any new members wanting to join please act soon via the sportident website - https://www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?event_id=1595

For those members who joined in the last week please accept our apologies for any delays getting your membership cards sent out as we are waiting for more cards from the printers which should be arriving in the next few days.

The final preparation for the season is taking place this weekend with the hangars being put on and then hopefully all ready for the snow, which has already fallen in Scotland. Another big thank you to all who attended these last two work parties which were very productive.

Date for your diary -Our AGM is being held on Monday 10th November at The Honest Lawyer, Durham, which will entail a (hopefully) brief meeting followed by another exciting slide show and presentation by Stu Gallagher. More details will be sent out prior to the event.
