While we have no indoor programme over the summer, there are informal evenings in the Bon Accord, where members can socialise and plan walks/days out over the summer. Bon Accord nights are the first and third Thursdays each month and will be as follows: June 6^th and 20^th , July 4^th and 18^th August 1^st, 15^th and 29^th.

Meeting time about 9 ish - for anyone who doesn't know the Bon Accord is on North Street (close to CharingCross/Mitchell Library). It would also be possible to join the Thursday night climbing wall session before proceeding to the pub.

The camping will be at Sligachan and not Porttree as originally rumoured. The owner of Portree site was clearly unhappy at the prospect of a noisy club descending on him. Even if we arrived in small groups. The site at Sligahan has fewer problems with this.The site will be very busy. If you know you will be arriving late you could ask an early bird to reserve you a spot. A true friend may even put up your tent. The temptations are too numerous to mention. Many people will have a go at the main ridge. Rassay would be an interesting diversion for the adventurous and there is MacLeod's Table. The Three Chimneys restuarant at Dunvegan is considered one of Scotland's finest (booking recommended). Some rock climbing is a possibility if the weather is right other wise there is beer drinking. So something for everyone, except tea totalers with vertigo and an aversion to sea food.

We have places for 10 to 12 people at the CIC hut; staying here right in the mountains is an experience in itself. There are many climbs and walks to be had direct from the hut. Accommodation is cosy on shared bunks, you will need a sleeping bag, towel and food. Cooking equipment and plates etc are provided in the hut. There are no toilets or showers. Please park in the North Face car park and not at the golf course. Cost £12 for both nights, to book a place, a cheque for the full amount should be with me by 1 August.

The MBA are still looking for volunteers for the important posts of General Secretary, Treasurer and Director of Projects, all the more because, for several reasons, they have now decided NOT to appoint a full-time executive officer. In addition to notifications about summer work parties at various bothies and accounts of past visits to bothies, there was an amusing article about being 'bolted in' to a bothy and how to escape.

This newsletter also contained a full account of the AGM in October.

If anyone, in wandering the hills, comes across a ruined cottage in a remote and lovely setting, why not contact the MBA and suggest it for a possible bothy? Be warned, however, the MBA have various criteria which they use to decide whether to proceed or not with any major project. As usual , a copy of the MBA newsletter is available from the librarian.
