The next BMC NW Area meeting and AGM will be held at the Black Dog, Belmont on Monday 24th November 2014 at 19:30.

Please note that the AGM has been brought forward because of the resignation of the Chairman. Consequently new nominations for chairperson will be essential.

As usual sandwiches and chips will be provided by the BMC. With a good turnout it should provide an excellent opportunity to meet up with your mates and bully one of them into being the next chair.

If you have any burning topics for discussion please raise them either here or by a mesaage to the secretary (me).

Please note that a draft agenda can be viewed on the BMC website. It will be updated as new special topics are added.

So far the special topics are:

The publication of the Lancs bouldering guide.

The selection of an area rep for the new BMC hillwalking working group (details can be seen in the meeting documents posted on the local areas page of the BMC website).

I've not heard about this. What has been chipped?

> The publication of the Lancs bouldering guide.

Yes, and I'll have some for sale too. Come along and get your hands on the best bouldering guide Lancashire has ever had. Buy a few and that's all your Christmas shopping sorted...

The bouldering at Hoghton I'm told (info from Les A.).

Hmm, I was always under the impression that that wasn't chipping but trad climbers messing about with their drills. You can clearly see two of the drill holes in this photo from 1978. (Bottom left, one above the other, about half a metre apart). http://www.ukhillwalking.com/images/dbpage.php?id=241553

If a boulderer had chipped the slab, I don't think they'd have done it like that. It's just pure chance that you can now use the drill marks to climb on (though some of them are too small to be useful).

However there has been recent chipping at Longridge, which was filled in not long after. There was also chipping at Denham last year. Definitely worth raising the issue.
