Ochils Photo Competion (20:00 - 23:59)
Best print and best slide (conventional or digital) each win a prize in our annual photographic competition, as judged by members on the night.
The best image from the first three in each category is then selected by last year's winner to receive the Rose Bowl.
The president also awards a prize for his choice of the most interesting or amusing image, and this can be historic, so delve into your archives.

Easter Weekend Camping Meet (20:01)
Camping meet over Easter weekend. Up to you how long you attend for. Some people will likely do 4 nights, thurs-sun, while others will just do fri and sat.
Location to be decided, based on weather and availability. I'm for the far northwest myself somewhere with access to Rieff. Maybe Clachtol or Achmelvich campsites near Lochinver, or the new wild camping area at altandhu which is the temporary replacement for Achnahaird which is now closed. Other possibilities might be Lairg (for the 4 northern Munros), or Cullen (For Logie Head) if east looks better than west (although this campsite will likely be full, and there ain't much hill walking around).
Stu and Jeanie are planning to head to Wales which, if the weather is half-decent seems like a good idea. Both Wooler (for climbing) and the lakes are going to be mobbed easter weekend so I don't think they are worth considering.
What would those who intend to come along prefer?
Depending on location, it might still be winter boots/crampons/ice axe conditions this year (esp Cairngorms) so bear that in mind when packing yer cars!
Just phoned Woodend Caravan Park 5 Miles outside Lairg. Looks like a nice location. £6pp for a man+tent, £8 per tent for two people (she was a bit vauge). She said that they have not yet got the water back on in time for easter, and that they are still getting frost every morning (with blue skies).

Rum Camping Meet (BHWE) (20:00)
Rum Camping meet. Early May BH Weekend. Location may change if weather is awful. Those that don't wish to camp are welcome to book themselves into the hostel.
Aim is to head to Mallaig Friday Night and get the 7:30AM ferry to Rum which gets in at 08:50AM, returning on the 15:20 ferry on Monday. This gives 2 full days on the Island + one half day. There is no Sunday ferry. Cost is 10.40GBP return for the ferry. Camping costs TBA. Those with the time can obviously extend it either way.
