In reply to joseph_dyball:
This is something that my old uni club, (University of Nottingham Climbing Club) used to do extremely well, and are trying to resurrect again since it was disrupted due to COVID. Every year there was an annual dinner trip which was attended by both current members and alumni. It was routinely attended by people that were in the club many many decades ago, one of the alumni, John Kendrick, attended his 50th annual dinner a few years back.
It went a long way to keep the link to the past active, keep the stories alive, and keep traditions going.
It is something I would actually recommend for every historic climbing club, it was an amazing experience.
