Due to weather and local conditions venues or date may be subject to change, we will endeavour to keep members informed. All venues are lowland venues or have been matched to a month where the weather conditions will be most favourable. We will let members know the cost for each venue once the 2025 prices have been published. We will be hiring Mere Beck again and then sharing the cost between the members who attend, this was £15 each last year. 
To avoid the club suffering unnecessary financial penalty we will require a deposit of £10 per member for each outing. A committee member will be the lead contact for each outing and they are the person to give you name and deposit to.
