I was surprised at the strong support for "option 3" at the area meeting I went along to. (And somewhat surprised to find myself supporting it after the discussion, having gone in feeling very negatively about the proposal.) It'll be interesting to see what use they propose to make of the "Climb Britain" moniker.
In reply to Shani:
The BMC didn't pay anyone any dosh.
It's funny, I would have thought someone might have mentioned that on one of the other threads by now.
