The new year is upon us and the presentation evening is over. From the response we have had , it would appear that the evening went down well and that the venue was very good , despite some misgivings before hand. Indeed it looks like we may well return next year as everyone liked the food, and the atmosphere.
The award winners were all well deserved and quite easy to nominate for a change. Vic did well winning the photography award as well as that for the most impressive journey of the year. Julian had a good year with his scrambling results , but this year could be different as Steve is about to join him with his recently purchased Metisse.
As I write the weather has been good to us in the daytime while a chilly at night. I am hoping it will hold out for our trip to the Victoria next week.
Kevin showed some prototype calendars at the awards evening and there was a lot of interest so hopefully he will get a good response from the members. So far there has not been enough interest to order any more shirts or other clothing with the section logo, so if you would like to get something new, do let us know.
I hope to keep the events page up to date this year, but I would just like to emphasise that the dates wil always be provisional, and if possible finalised by consensus at the club nights. The problem is that without a date the system will not register an event, and therefor can't be displayed. I hope that makes sense!
We are looking into getting section notes back into the Jampot magazine if it's not too difficult. Any way , thank you all for your support in 2016, and let's see what more we can get up to in 2017. Gordon
