The bowling night and the Christmas Party night were both well attended and everyone had a good night.

Ceilidh - it was decided 160 tickets should be sold. John J has received two passes for the Livingwell Health Club. Pat suggested we give these as one prize. Christine has received a £20 voucher from Tiso's. Donations will be requested for raffle prizes on the next few walks.

Patricia will contact Bob Clark to finalise a date for the first aid course.

Easter weekend was discussed. It was finally agreed we should return to Ullapool, where there is a variety of accommodation and lots of walking in the area. A sheet will be passed round the bus to see who is interested.

Jim mentioned his reccie for the Fintry Hills was quite difficult and suggested we do Tinto Hill instead and keep Fintry Hills for the Summer programme. He also mentioned as numbers were at 26 so far for Sunday's walk we should hire the big bus.

Willie will bring along football cards to raise funds for the club.

Christine mentioned that Jim Dunlop is still refusing to re-join the Ramblers Association. It was decided he will not be allowed back on any walks unless he hands over his membership money direct to Christine. A letter will be sent to him stating this.

Christine will also be sending out other letters to anyone whose membership is overdue or any new members who have not yet joined after being out on two walks.
