This will be a short circular walk through the Inverurie/Keith Hall area before the AGM at the Garioch Heritage Centre, Loco Works Road, Inverurie, AB51 4FY. The walk will be led by Henry Webb. The walk will cross the railway bridge and head up the Oldmeldrum Road to the North Lodge then through the Keith Hall Estate, belonging to the Earl of Kintore. This comes out at the South Lodge. We will then take either the direct route up the High Street to the Heritage Centre or a slightly longer route through the quieter back streets and Kellands Park to the Heritage Centre. Bring a snack and something to drink for the walk. Tea, coffee and mini tray bakes will be provided from 1pm before the AGM, which will commence at 2pm. Bring something for lunch.
The meeting will discuss local matters, Ramblers GB and Ramblers Scotland work. The Agenda and Annual Report will be available before the meeting.
