Annual Dinner 8-9th March
Posted: 29 Jan 2013, 00:21
The Annual Dinner this year will be held at the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel in Langdale, Lake District http://www.odg.co.uk at 7.30pm Saturday 9th March. The 3 course menu with tea or coffee costs £20 and is shown below please let me have your menu choice and £20 by Friday 1st March.
Accommodation is available at the Raven Crag hut at the back of the hotel http://www.bbrcc.co.uk/ravencrag.htm. The hut sleeps 24 and fees are £30 for Friday and Saturday regret we cannot reduce the rate if you book only one night. Preference will be given to members staying 2 nights and having the dinner.
I will collect hut and dinner money £30 + £20 in full in advance on the understanding that if you cancel 2 weeks before the weekend you get all your money back. Less than 2 weeks it will be at the discretion of the hotel if you get your dinner money back. Hut fees are non refundable unless we can fill your place in the hut.
Payment (in order of preference) can be made direct to my bank please email for bank details, cash at the club or by cheque payable to Mike Hogg.
If you want to stay in the hotel the rates are £58 per night with breakfast, minimum stay is 2 nights. I have not reserved any rooms at the hotel so please make your own booking. I advise prompt booking to make sure you have a room.

1. No dogs in the hut.
2. Well behaved dogs are allowed to stay in the hotel at a charge of £5.00 per dog per night, they are allowed in all areas of the hotel and bars, excluding the dining room.
