Meets and 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.
