Join us in Patterdale from 22-24 August for the annual hut maintenance meet and help to keep the Club's George Starkey Hut in shape.
This year's work mostly involves a bit of cleaning and painting: nothing too arduous.
Those taking part in the upkeep work will be able to stay at the hut for free for two nights and there is the option to run the meet into a longer stay, taking advantage of the August bank holiday weekend.
