This years' AGM was held on Thursday 15th April

in Edinvillie Hall, Edinvillie. The guest speaker was Peter Gordon, who gave a talk entitled 'A nature ramble on a Munro bagging epic'.

Peter gave us a very informative & interesting talk with slides on his Munro bagging ventures.

The AGM was reasonably well attended & the Committee would like to thank all who attended and a special thank you to Peter for his time & efforts.

Donations Box

The Friends role is now more of a fundraising role than a hands-on role, as we have done what we set out to do in terms of dealing with the scarring of the Ben by installing the path.
As a result we have decided to put a donations box at the start of the walk to the summit.
We hope that once you have enjoyed your walk you may feel that you would like to give a small donation to help us with our on-going maintanence of the path and the revegetation of the damaged areas.
All donations will be gratefully received and can be made as a Gift Aid donation.
You can find a Gift Aid declaration form HERE

Thank you for your support

The pictures below are of Alan and Ged putting in the donations box & you just wouldn't believe how many large granite boulders can be in such a small hole!
