Firstly thank you to everyone who attended! Next special thanks goes to all those who helped, Ken for all those onions, Wavy and Fiona who spent the entire day in the kitchen with me doing a variety of mind numbing chores, John whose previous experience was extremely valuable, Rich for the 70 finely sliced sticks of celery and everyone else who chipped in throughout the day; Dave, Alan, Jim, Andy and the washer uppers. Kev was responsible for delivering myself and the food to the hut, which was done in fine style including the super market stop. Also well done and thanks to everyone who cleared up in the morning, sorry that I wasn't in particularly good condition for helping although I did manage to second hope in the wet and get involved with an epic descent. I haven't managed to find out how the Saturday events went from Rick or Chris yet but I believe fun was had on both of their events. A mention for Rick and Mark for getting their abseil rope stuck on Tramadog is obligatory, well done guys! I also believe that Al, Duncan and Pete managed to find some ice to climb. Sunday unfortunately it rained and saw a mass retreat back to Manchester, four of us (Al, Anna, Alex and I) did manage to climb, as pre-mentioned, at Idwell but due to leaving the hut after one finished in the dark and managed to come down the wrong way over several cliffs.

That's about it, a final mention is required for Rob Allen's advise about the use of a chicken and a chest of draws which makes what Andy does to Robins look normal. Merry Christmas to you all and best wishes for the New Year!

Meet Promo:

The Christmas dinner this year will be occurring on the 14th of December at the hut as usual. I will be catering for the usual veterinarian group with my trusty helpers; Wavy, Scumbag and Pink Slips.

Dinner will be £7 this year, I have been wavering about the amount but then so what if I am £2 out it just means that you will all of given £2 this year to the local Mountain Rescue and we all spend enough time there!!

On the Saturday Rick Davis will be leading a climbing group off to somewhere warm and sunny, and someone (possibly Chris Thickett) will be taking a walking party out.

Sunday will involve a mass hung over assent of Idwall Slabs.

I hope to see you all there, please let me know in advance if you plan to attend and give me some money as well.
