Trossachs Training Camp 2022 - Fear nought it goes ahead at the Dreadnought!

I am delighted to say that last minute arrangements for the 2022 TTC have been made. Our original booking was cancelled by the hostel as the hostel was put up for sale a few months ago and the sale process is still underway, so it didn't look like the TTC would happen this year. However, I have booked a block of 12 twin rooms in The Dreadnought Hotel, Callander for the same weekend, Friday 9th September (first run around 17:30) until Sunday 11th September (late checkout secured for 1200). There is still a risk that if we do not secure sponsorship for the event, then we may have to cancel to avoid hiking the prices per participant up significantly. Assuming we secure sponsorship, then the cost is £90 per person which includes shared twin room, breakfast (Sat/Sun), lunch (Sat), Dinner (Fri/Sat), event T-shirt and all the running/coaching you could possibly want!

The Dreadnought Hotel is a well established (since 1805) 3 star hotel which has undergone significant refurbishment during the pandemic under new ownership (the hotel suffered fire damage just before the pandemic and was sold). It is the largest hotel in Callander and is located on the main street on the corner of Station Rd (and next to the Tesco Express). The hotel is operating in a limited way at present with only a skeleton staff of two (the manager and his wife) and so we will be pretty much using the accommodation aspect of the hotel only and providing our own breakfast goods, lunch arrangements and Lade Inn dinners as per usual on the TTC.

The rooms are twin rooms with en-suite facilities, kettles and TV's in each room so are actually more luxurious than what we usually have on the TTC!

Places are limited to 24. To secure a booking, please fill in the following on-line form and make a deposit payment of £40 to Calderglen Harriers (cash, cheque or bank transfer options are available) or the full amount of £90 if you prefer. The balance will be due by the end of August. Please get cash/cheque payments to Russell or if paying by bank transfer, please let Russell know when you have paid (as the club bank account only publishes monthly paper statements)
