Pembrokeshire St David’s meet 14-19 August.
Climbing, coastal path, cycling and maybe coasteering.
Hi folks. Thelma is looking forward to welcoming us back to Porthclais Farm campsite, just outside St. David’s, 14-19 August.
As last year, she would like one centralised booking, so please can you reserve your spot through me.
Reservations made by paying a deposit of 1 night’s accommodation – and then I’ll collect balances IN CASH PLEASE during the meet
£10 pppn camping
£5 per child 4-12 per night
£2 per dog per night
£25 per campervan per night (inc up to 2 adults)
Please can you send deposits to me (1 night as above) letting me know YOUR NAME, planned number of nights and arrival departure days.
Note, you only pay for the number of nights you stay, so if you plan 5 nights but only stay 1-2-3-4, that’s all you pay.

At the same time you send me your deposit, also send an email address or mobile number if you want to be added to the WhatsApp group.
Fingers crossed for no named storm this year; just the weather we had before and after the one which visited us briefly last year.

IT Officer – a new committee position replacing Webmaster
Obituarist – currently Ros de Fraine is Acting Obituarist
Dinner Secretary – currently Chris Paul is Acting Dinner Secretary
Hut Funding Coordinator – looking after the legacies and hut funds for member donations
As I have previously said I never viewed acting as Guidebook Secretary as a long term role, amongst other things it needs a younger person to push the next series forwards and take up the new publishing opportunities that digital offers. Hence I’d like to stand down at the next AGM and have drafted a […]

KARN HOUSE ROOF REPAIR Karn House will be undergoing some major roof repairs starting Monday 20th April for approximately one week. Although not actually closed it might be wise to avoid the hut during that week. Apologies for any inconvenience but we should soon be up and running with a nice watertight roof. Jeff Breen
