September Working Meet

By john

As you will have seen from the last NLMC newsletter, we are holding a working meet at the club properties on the 19/20th September. If you have been up to the cottage this summer you will have seen that we (by "we" I mean George Wilson) have been doing quite a lot of landscaping work. However, we need members to help with this, as well as plenty of smaller jobs inside the properties. 

All members are very welcome to come along and jobs will be found for all, regardless of DIY skills. As an extra incentive, the committee will lay on free food and (some) beer for everyone attending. I'm also told that there will be localised showers over all UK climbing destinations that weekend so you won't be missing out on any climbing opportunities.

Please let me know if you will be coming along. If you have tools/paintbrushes etc please bring them along as well (I can let people have more idea of jobs that need doing once we have an idea of numbers attending).

October Working Meet

By processwire

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.

Steve
