This topic has been archived, and won't accept reply postings.
The next BMC NW Area meeting will be held at 19:30 at the Black Dog, Belmont on Monday Jan 26th 2015.

Come along to our gathering of North West climbers and walkers to discuss the latest issues and get involved in the work of the BMC. All are welcome.

One topic for discussion is the development of a NW area policy document on the replacement of fixed gear and bolted lower offs (an extension/revision of the guidance on fixed gear replacement that was previously agreed). As a starting point for discussion a new draft document will be posted on this meeting page ahead of the meeting.

It should also be noted that a regular item on hillwalking issues has been added to the standard agenda.

Other topics of particular note will be notified here and added to the agenda as they become known. If there are topics you wish to have discussed please let us know.

As usual, sandwiches and chips will be provided by the BMC so it should be a good night out. With a decent turnout it will provide a good opportunity to meet up with some mates.

Also worth mentioning here, there is a Wilton 4 clean up day organised for Saturday 10 Jan. This quarry has seen a lot of activity and cleaning over the summer, so now we'd love help to finish off the job. All hands welcome, whether you want to dig topouts, pick up litter or work on landings. There's something for everyone at this quarry, with nice easy slab routes, tough E grades, highballs and a bouldering wall. Tea and coffee provided (just bring a mug and some water).

Here's the facebook event page. 23 signed up, let's make it 30!

Cheers Elliot, and a Happy New Year to you!

See you at Wilton 4. Looks like there will be a decent turn out - 27 signed up on facebook so far. If we do get decent numbers we could make a real difference to the crag.

Just spotted the typo: should of course be "now available" instead of "not available".

Also an extra item has been added to the agenda: Paul Evans will talk about NW Facebook and Guidebook photos

would it be appropriate to add this to the agenda http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-30974105
and disuss how the BMC or Area comittee could coordinate interested parties, ie Climbing Clubs and Walking clubs and other outdoor users to help replace the kit.
In reply to SCrossley:

I can add it to the agenda. Perhaps it would be better to help after they have found some more secure storage?

I don`t know, just they say it will take 3 years to raise the funds.
