AGM venue correction, Membership and Work Party update

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Firstly I would like to invite all members to our Annual AGM which is being held at the Durham Amateur Rowing club in Durham, DH1 3JU on Monday 6th November starting at 8pm. Please note this is not the usual venue at The Honest Lawyer nor is it at the Durham University Rowing club which is in the email circulated by SI Entries by mistake. To get there from the A690 turn over New Elvet bridge next to the Prince Bishops Car Park, over the bridge, turn left onto Old Elvet at the first set of lights and continue along keeping to the left. At a V junction bear left past Durham Courts onto Green Lane and carry on past University Health Centre. The road becomes a rough single track until you reach the rowing club - go any further and you are in the river!

We are hosting a swap shop if people want to get rid of any unwanted skiing/boarding equipment or clothing and if you want to sell anything please turn up earlier and have an idea of how much you want for the item. Someone will be there from 7pm but we will also be selling items at the end as well. The AGM will start promptly at 8pm and hopefully the business element will be brief and is followed by another excellent presentation by our eternal explorer Stu Gallagher on "A traverse on skis of the Mt Waddington range of British Columbia" and then followed by "4 short 5 minute films from around the world" by our perennial traveller Kevin Moore. Both will be very entertaining I can promise.

A Final reminder to all members who have not renewed - you have until the end of October to renew and get the £10 discount. From 1st November this discount ceases. We are now of course also open to new members until we reach our capacity.

We are now fully ready for the season and last weekend in atrocious weather Kevin and a good group of helpers managed to service and get all the hangars back ready for the snow.
