Anne rang the bell and extended a warm welcome to all including our two tellers from Gargunnock Rural.....Sandra & Beverley - THANK YOU
Anne announced the apologies before starting business. The minutes of last years AGM were circulated before the meeting - there were no comments. Helen Little (Treasurer) then went over the balance sheet explaining the income and expenditure for the year. Anne then gave her Presidents report going over the activities/speakers/outings etc for the year. Ruskie have had a very successful year with great speakers and various outings.

Anne then gave a short up-date on the state of the hall - chimney has been swept
The speaker for the evening was our very own Anne, who gave us a wonderful in-sight to what she carries in her rucksack while hill climbing and bagging Munros. It was just like 'Mary Poppins'...every time Anne put her hand in her rucksack she pulled something out - all with a story. She told us how she started hill walking and over the years progressing onto Munros - Anne is a great story teller and she had us all enraptured as her story unfolded. Thank you Anne
