SOME OF OUR RECENT MEETS

If you’re interested in joining and would like to know what we have done in the past few months, here are a few examples

Club Meets and Events

Around 80 available events in 2024.
We run a varied programme of activities including regular outdoor meets both in the UK and abroad.
Also,  we meet every Wednesday evening for climbing and bouldering at local crags (summer), climbing and bouldering  walls (winter)  or social events.

Our Hut in Snowdonia

We have our own hut in North Snowdonia for members to stay overnight for a modest fee.
It is also available for BMC Affiliated Clubs to book.
The hut was purchased by members over forty years ago so that the club could have a base in Snowdonia. In recent years we have modernised it.
Accommodates up to 22 people.
