October Working Meet

September 14, 2009 By admin

After the very successful new members meet earlier in the year NLMC has decided to run a second meet at the club hut in Snowdonia over the weekend Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th October. This will have a very similar format to the last one and again we will be offering some instruction for new members using instructors from Plas y Brenin (partly funded by grants from BMC and rest by NLMC). Help from experienced members is also needed and any offers to assist with this weekend would be greatly appreciated.

If you have joined the club within the last 12 months (or just about to join) this weekend is for you. It is a great opportunity to meet other climbers and gain further climbing experience. You will need to provide your own climbing shoes, harness and helmet. Costs will be just the hut fees (£4 per night) and share of petrol costs to get there – remember this is for members only – so join up now if necessary!!!

As orgainsing this does take time – sorting out lift shares and courses please let me know early if you:

  1. Intend to come
  2. Want to participate in some instruction – indicate your experience level
  3. Do you need a lift or can you offer a lift.
  4. Willing to help with less experienced climbers.

Please reply directly to me not to chat@ or news@…

Hope to hear from you soon.

NLMC Calendar

September 11, 2009 By admin

One of our members, Francesca Robertson, has had the brilliant idea of putting together an NLMC calendar for 2010. She has even volunteered to put it together! The initial plan is to distribute the calendar to members at the end of this year as a .pdf attachment so that it can be printed out.

So this is a request for people to send in photos to go into the calendar. Ideally, we would like photos from the last 12 months which illustrate what club members have been up to in 2009. Photos could be from Alps trips, sea cliffs, exploratory trad climbing, DWS, ice climbing, bouldering etc etc. Basically anything that will act as inspiration when the calendar is sat on someone’s desk next year.
