Because of Covid precautions this has been cancelled, and we have yet to re-arrange it.

A winter meet to celebrate AR and meet with old friends and new. A good time to come and have a look at us! Contact the secretary to book a place.
It was one year ago on AR’s 136th birthday that we had our last in-person meeting.
His 137th Birthday party will be held via ZOOM on Saturday 16th January 1pm – 3pm and you are all invited.
There will be a quiz and activities; we invite you to bring cake (and eat it!); raise a glass to Arthur and grab a chance to see a few friends that you won’t have seen for ages. And don’t forget to show the cards you have designed.
First time? – give it a go!
The only thing you have to do is let me know and I will forward you the link.
Hoping to see you soon

A member only event.
An interview by the Northern Chairman with Mike Bender author of Sunlight and Shadows.
Covid allowing – The National Trust have advised us that they hope to open the site this year, so we have booked (confirmed) 6th-15th (Fri – Sun) August 2021.
Member only event, but I have to say what you are missing! Basic camp site on the lake edge, so you can bring your boat or have a ride in someone else’s. There are yurts for hire. Trip to Wild Cat Island (early before the natives get there), visit The Dogs Home, climb Kanchenjunga on the 11th (see Swallowdale) and possibly a special excursion to a mine and steam railway during the week. Camp fire, of course. Become a member to join in. Contact your local regional secretary for more details of membership or fill out the form on the Membership tab.
