Another date for your diary - Keswick weekend
We return to Keswick in November for the annual “Anglo-Scottish Battle” which will take place at Portinscale Village Hall at 4.00pm on Saturday, 7th November 2009.
Our rooms at the Derwentwater Hotel have been reserved for Friday and Saturday at last year’s rate of £55.00 per person per night for Dinner, Bed and Breakfast.
A list will be made available on club nights for members to add their names and room requirements (double, twin, single) and a deposit will be required, as usual, before the end of our season (mid May).
We are again assured of a warm welcome by the staff at the Derwentwater and promised the usual good choices and high standard of food during our stay.
Our regulars will be familiar with the routine which has been a success in recent years but we hope that some of our newer members will be able to join in this year, so for their benefit:
- Arrive Derwentwater Hotel on Friday afternoon or evening. Book in and arrange a convenient time for your evening meal.
- After breakfast on Saturday, join the organised walk or go your own way.
Descend upon the Portinscale village hall for the print battle which commences at 4.00pm prompt. After the judging there is time to have a close look at all the prints which will be laid out around the room and enjoy refreshments with friends.
Return to the Derwentwater in good time for the group dinner commencing 7.15pm - After breakfast on Sunday make your own arrangements to get the best from your trip to the spectacularly beautiful Lake District.
The print competition gives us an opportunity to see the best images from the top Scottish clubs, Dumfries and Carluke, as well as the best from the North East clubs and, of course, those from West Cumbrian clubs - and our own neighbours, South Manchester C.C.
The battle provides a great focal point for the weekend, but the accent is on the social element and the opportunity for photography in this most picturesque corner of the land.
Make a note of the dates in your diary and watch out for future announcements.
