In reply to Team BMC:

There is also our fairly new facebook page that you are all encouraged to 'like'. Find it here: http://www.facebook.com/bmcpeakarea

Probably a better bet for those of you that don't use UKC very often but still want to be kept up to date with goings on in the Peak.

In reply to Team BMC:

Bit of a bump for the evening crowd.

In reply to Dan Lane:


The evening will begin with the Annual General Meeting (please let a member of the Peak Area Team know if you are interested for standing for any of the Peak Area positions or if you wish to nominate anyone - see the news letter for details)

As there is a great deal of Access detail in the newsletter, the plan for the meeting is to have a very brief access update following the information in the newsletter (Peak Access news comes thick and fast daily)
and there will be an opportunity for anyone to volunteer if they should wish to (again see the newsletter for details)

...and then onto the Limestone Guidebook discussion. Following the last area meeting's guide update, ther felt there was a need for an area discussion on the way forward and how area members/attendee's can best help with the production of the new guides.

There is a chance I won't be at the meeting, but feel free to grab anyone else on the team for a chat over butties and chips...

cheers

Bump - come along and eat stuff, win stuff and listen to stuff.

Lots o' stuff to be had at the Maynard Arms Hotel, Gridleford - 23rd November.

In reply to Simon:

Don't forget to post some of the best quiz questions as I'll need some entertainment to help bear the jet lag in Malaysia.

In reply to Offwidth:



Poor you!

I'm not sure I will know any answers this year apart from the odd peak bouldering esoterica question!

Have fun in the tropics...

In reply to Team BMC:
Sorry, can't make tonight as I have to work! :-{

In reply to Team BMC:


Last bump - see you there later!

Cheers

Simon

In reply to Offwidth:

Undoubtedly the most entertaining question was the "rock charades", get Lynn to explain/repeat !

Well done to Adam and John - excellant quiz

Impressive turnout as well - anyone count? Can't have been far short of 100

In reply to Chris the Tall:

Tall story...my guess is 91.

Sounds like a sandwich fight may have been on. Hope you didn't go hungry.

In reply to Team BMC:

I counted yes, 83. Although i reckon a few more came in after i counted. so yeah, probably not far off the 100 mark.

In reply to Dan Lane:

Offwidth has cheated - I'd already e-mailed him to say 91 people had attended - according to Reuben! No 'bun fight' though, Dave T had given us the nod to increase the sandwich order - my only disappointment was that the vegetarian was mixed in with the meat - sorry about that. 'The management' put their hands up though and apologised.

Hopefully see you all in Feb. Wonderful energy on Wednesday - I hope this continues...........

Cheers for now, Moff

In reply to Moff:
