IC Highlighting Club

31 Jan 1997 — 1 min read

Following our successful weekend away in the English Riviera, we shall be presenting a selection of slides to our regular discussion workshop next week. Anyone is welcome to come along and participate in reliving a memorable weekend and experience first hand some Dave G’s classic forays in and around Torquay. He will be demonstrating some of the equipment that he used to tackle the infamous Torquay Red Devil, so it should be a terrific show.

Looking to the future, we are planning ICHC’s first trip abroad, funds allowing, to the magnificent French city of Caen. This would be a weekend away to sample what France has to offer IC Highlighters, and should incorporate a trip to see the Bayeux Tapestry. Next month we shall be going on a Highlighter’s treasure hunt in the charming village of Smidgeon in Berkshire. This time the University of Berkshire HC are hosts and by all accounts a good time should be had by all.

If you want to come along, then come to one of our regular meetings at 1.00 in dBs on Thursdays.

International fees: short-term manna, long-term trap.
