BMC to meet Gordon Brown at Downing Street

© BMC
The Prime Minister is hosting a reception for the BMC in 'Celebration of British Mountaineering' at No.10 Downing Street on Wednesday 8th October 2008.
The event is being held in recognition of the work of the BMC, of all British mountaineering activities and the current role our sport plays in contributing to a fit and active nation in the 21st century. The reception will be hosted personally by The Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP and attended by government ministers, MPs, members of the House of Lords and senior civil servants.

The BMC has submitted a list of people to be invited including senior figures from the mountaineering world and key partner organisations, a number of BMC volunteers, competition climbers, the outdoor media and leading grassroots activists in rock climbing, mountaineering, hill walking, and exploration. Guest numbers are limited so regrettably not everyone can be invited.

Is that the Scottish one then?
Will the BMC support of climbing becoming an olympic sport be on the agenda? If so have you decided whether or not you're going to support it? And if asked by Gordon Brown, would you say the BMC actively supports competition climbing in a whole-heartedly way? Would you still support olympic competition climbing if it was only speed climbing that was selected for the event?

Celebration of British mountaineering eh? so no invite to the MCoS? Maybe oor Alex Salmond should have a Celebration of Scottish Mountaineering at the same time?
