We are
looking to set up a 'Buddy' system so our members can help each other with
whatever issues or questions they might have - be it loading, water,
crewing, equipment etc. Just get in touch with whatever you would like
help with and we will try to match you with someone who has expertise in
that area. We have already had our first call for help: a map reading
session. If anybody else would also like some help with that let us
know and we can maybe arrange a slightly bigger session. |

Grampian Branch End of Season Social
Christmas Dinner at Jaff's, Dunecht which will be followed by a fun quiz.
By popular demand, Carola booked Jaff’s again and proved to be a
fun evening. The
food is really nice pub grub and the menu caters for everyone, they are also
very good at trying to accommodate special dietary requirements e.g. gluten
free or vegan. Viv Law kindly agreed to do the Quiz for us this year.
