Buffet provided
The agenda is currently:
1. Summary of issues arising National Council Meeting
2. Valleys Green Guide
3. Proposals for crags to be bolted
4. Use of SWMC wiki for new sports climbing developments, the suggestion is that proposals would go on the SWMC wiki for people to view
5. First Ascensionist rights - in the s wales bolt policy meeting in July 2011, the consensus was that the first ascentionist should not have power of veto over the wishes of the local climbing community with respect to requipping or retrobolting of routes. Some of the first ascensionists have expressed concern to the BMC, and the BMC are now considering issuing national guidelines on this matter. Further feedback of local climbers on this issue would be useful.
6. Elfyn Jones (Access & Conservation Officer (Wales) position being made permanent.
