Have you booked your Giraween and Brooyar Campsites?
If you are planning to join the club for the trip to Giraween you should think about booking your campsite very soon. It is currently 60% booked out on the Saturday and Sunday nights and nearly always books out well before the week-end. The availablility at Brooyar is currently good but a group booking can change that very quickly.
