Calling all SLIGO MOUNTAINEERING CLUB members - present and past. April 2024
As part of our 50th year celebrations, we are producing a BOOKLET. This is a call for contributions to this publication. We are looking for short articles about your mountaineering experiences at home and abroad, and your memories of the Mountaineering Club over the years.
Also, all things hillwalking related would be welcome - crosswords, recipes, and poems! Let the creative juices flow! Your support in this little project is much needed and appreciated. We plan to launch to booklet later this year. Deadline for submissions is JULY 1st 2024, by email, to Fiona Gallagher, at the email address : fionagallaghersligo@gmail.com
