Thanks Lynn.

Just found the BMC page on FB, does it post area meetings? This would link up to smart phone to help me remember such stuff.

Thanks,

John

In reply to Ropeboy:

Oh it does (under events), but the meeting does not appear to be there?

Then again I might be doing something wrong.

In reply to Moff:

A Glossop meeting this year I hope?

In reply to Dan Lane:

If that's what folk want........

Do people think The Crown is a good venue? (I certainly enjoyed the pie and peas!!)

In reply to Moff:

Well the sheffield gang usually moan about having to come to Glossop, but what about those of us that come from Glossop every meeting? or even Rick, it takes him most of a whole hour extra to get to Sheffield, and he turns up without fail!

As for the Crown? well, it's not the best pub in the world, but i'm struggling to think of something quite like the Maynard in Glossop. I think it's alright for the meetings, cheap and the food isnt bad considering it's free. Talk to Martin, he might know a better venue.

In reply to Dan Lane:

Next meeting a month away (13th April) so I'm beginning to put the agenda together. A few of us met up with the guys from the Eastern Moors Partnership so have some feedback to give to you all - very interesting times are ahead! One thing that came out of that meeting is people wanting more information on volunteering options.

Any other agenda items welcome, as always. Either here or to: lynn.robinson@bmcvolunteers.org.uk

Hope to see you next month, Moff

*ding ding* - last call!

You had me worried there - I was just checking to see if I'd got the date wrong yet again, but no it is tomorrow night, so possibly not last call

Last Grindleford train to Sheffield is 21:44???

In reply to Offwidth:

Looks like there's another one at 23:19

Not sure when the last train to Clarksville is though

In reply to Chris the Tall:

Thats more like it! I think we left at 11:45 last time, after clearing up a few things.

In reply to Chris the Tall:

Question is do we get a single or a return?!

In reply to:

Not sure I'll make it, if I do I'll be late by the time we've got the kids off to bed.

In reply to Chris the Tall:


Clarksville - geddit ? - Clark's ville ! - CLARK - oh I give up

bump

In reply to Chris the Tall:


Clarkesvilla would have been funnier & I may have got the joke! See you all later.

In reply to Simon:
Did the monkees record a song called "Last train to Clarkesvilla" ?
I think not
But it's been a long day

In reply to Chris the Tall:

Excellent meeting. I'll post a report soon, Moff

In reply to Moff:

One result from the meeting was the decision to recommence the Peak Area Newsletter (what's that? I hear from the stalls). We paused the publishing last year because about the only people reading it were the staff, contributors and an expat from Texas who said it reminded him of home (I kid ye not). So, we're off again; details here:

Key point to take away is the Deadline, 25 May, and we really need some climbing input (I get nosebleeds just going upstairs).
