Type of event
Area Meeting
The BMC Midlands Area Meeting will be held at the Old Edwardians Sports Club in Solihull on Wednesday 7 February 2018, starting at 8.00pm.

Come along to Solihull for our next gathering of Midlands climbers and walkers and get involved in the BMC.

Area meetings are run by volunteers and provide an opportunity for you to discuss issues and influence decisions affecting climbers and walkers locally and nationally. 

The evening also includes a guest speaker, and a bar and food, so it should be a great night out.

BMC Organisational Review
Discussions will continue on the recommendations of the independent organisational review group (ORG) following consideration of feedback provided by members since the group’s report was published in November. A briefing paper (attached) has been published by the ORG for discussion at the January / February round of area meetings.

Suzie Imber talk
Guest speaker for the evening is Dr Suzie Imber, associate professor of Planetary Science at the University of Leicester. Suzie is a highly-experienced mountaineer, and has written computer code to identify and map unclimbed peaks in the Andes and Himalayas before setting off to climb them herself. In September she won BBC2’s “Astronauts: Do You Have What It Takes?” programme.

All are welcome. Food will be provided by the BMC, and the club has a licensed bar.

Thanks to Solihull Mountaineering Club for hosting the meeting.
