You are invited to The Moray Mountaineering Club’s Annual General Meeting to be held at 19:30 on 22 March 2012 at Glen Moray Distillery’s Visitor Centre.  Please support your club by attending. We need your help… A number of committee members will be standing down and so the club needs your help.  Any member can stand for election for any post, but in particular we have vacancies for Honorary Treasurer and Honorary Secretary and Membership Secretary.  If you want to know more about what these positions involve please contact the current committee member.  You don’t need to have any particular qualifications or experience to be on the committee; just enthusiasm and a willingness to put something…
