Club AGM and Social, Wednesday 22 October
This year's club Annual General Meeting will be held on the evening of Wednesday October 22nd, once again at the Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS) office in Perth. Details including times are still to be confirmed, but expect that it'll follow a similar format to previous years - bring some food for a communal buffet before we start the AGM.
Every club member is invited - hope to see as many of you there as possible!

Culteuchar - a TAY review
Thankyou so much to Elaine, Dave P and everyone from the club and beyond who pitched in to make today's South of Scotland League (SoSOL) Event at Culteuchar such a success - your efforts are all hugely appreciated!
Even with the effort of hosting the event, there were some very impressive results from club members, with quite possibly a record number of top-10 places for Tay members in a SoSOL event. Pride of place goes to course winners Robert Jenkins and Felicity Martin. Robert had a 3 minute win on Light Green while Felicity won Short Green...by all of a single second.
