The BMC North East Area Meeting will be held at Newcastle Climbing Centre on Thursday 8 February 2018, starting at 7.30pm.
Come along to Newcastle for our next gathering of North East 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.
Area AGM
The February meeting is also the area AGM, and will include elections for various volunteer roles.
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.

BMC representation on Mountain Training England
Mountain Training England (MTE) is proposing that the BMC reduces its number of voting members from four to one on MTE’s Council, achieving voting parity with MTE’s other member organisations. This proposal was postponed from the November area meeting due to a lack of time for discussion. See attached 1-page summary and 3-page paper for background information on this proposal.
All are welcome.
Newcastle Climbing Centre is hosting the meeting, so why not get there early and fit in a climbing session too?
