Three weeks to go and training is becoming intense (!) with a recce expedition from the old school to Eype. An intrepid member of the Team is shown scaling the infamous West Face of Golden Cap. Dipper's place (that's the dog) on the expedition as 6th team member is now in doubt after her blatant display of reckless disregard for danger.

 

The Humble Pointers are aiming to raise £5,000.00 in sponsorship for MacMillan Cancer Support and so far, thanks to very generous support from OHs, friends and family, they have raised £3,642.00 (72% of their target). If you have not yet done so please do visit the Team's Just Giving page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/myfanwy-adams3 and help them achieve that £5,000.00 target.

 

A free pint at Portesham at the end of the hike for correct identification of the backside featured in this daring summit attempt.

For the first time in over a year and a half OH's will have the opportunity to come together once again for the Club's AGM and West Country Lunch hosted at The Victoria Hotel, Sidmouth on Saturday 11th September.

 

Tickets are selling well for the lunch and OH's are encouraged to book their place at the lunch sooner rather than later in order to avoid disappointment.

Main - Roast beef and yorkshire pudding OR Plaice with smoked salmon and a leek veloute.
