In reply to Simon:
Hi Simon,
"Problem is that we go to Glossop as the Locals asked for it and last year we obliged"
When you say 'we' who exactly do you mean? And what is this 'obliged' bollox.
There does seem to be this us and them attitude sometimes, rather than an all encompassing we.
As an aside, I couldn't make it last night, but I was at the last meeting. At that meeting I put my name down on a mailing list, with my email address.
I have yet to receive any minutes from that meeting, nor did I get notification of the next meeting.
Now for me that is not important, as I pay attention on here, and it is my job.
But for many other climbers who have busy lives, it would be great if they get a reminder of local meetings, and the minutes and that the word is spread far and wide.
Is the best use of modern communications being used by the BMC?
Find out for US if YOU can.
In addition+ be great if someone at the Area Meetings did a short write up for UKC, seeing as we are the most read climbing media in the UK : we'd stick it on the NEWS page and in the FORUM so that it would get maximum exposure. Thanks Chris for your short report, but not everyone reads the forums most do read the NEWS page however.
Here's one I did last Peak Area Meeting:
