MIDLANDS HIKING CLUB NEWSLETTERS

Reminder for the Rocky Bay Caravan Park camping on the weekend of 24-25 March, led by Bushy Kirby
Members should let Bushy know by 20 February so that he can make bookings
Contact Bushy via 083 757-2660 or bushchip@mweb.co.za
He needs payment of R180 pppn by then to confirm bookings
Minimum charge for a site is R570 per night, but this can be shared between members on a site - up to 3 people it is R570 for the site, 4 to 6 people works out at R180 pppn
Pensioners rates apply at R150.00 per day for a couple or R100.00 single, but that is for a minimum of three nights
There are also log cabins available, but members should make their own payment arrangements in this regard. Before you do this, make sure the camping weekend is still on, as lack of interest could cause Bushy to cancel

HIKERS - REMEMBER OTHERS ENJOY READING YOUR REPORTS - Send your contributions to Brigitta at brigittasimpson@gmail.com for inclusion in the Club NEWSLETTER (especially if you were designated the SCRIBE for a particular hike...)
