There is a detailed crib sheet on the website telling you exactly how to
organise a weekend. TAKE A LOOK.
Other meets may be organised - please check at Wednesday meetings or via the OUCC mailing lists.
As usual details of the trips will be advertised closer in time. As a reminder: They will mostly be advertised on the oucc-all mailing list. So if you want to stay up to date, please sign up following the instructions on the website: http://www.oucc.org.uk/current/mailists.htm
