I really hope this is some kind of a bad joke. While I approve of the "moving with times" direction, is this name change really necessary? For one, not only does "Climb Britain" sound ridiculous and unprofessional, but the key is the word "climb". Does this really encompass all of what the BMC stands for? I personally associate "climb" exclusively with rock climbing w/o any other mountain activities. "Mountaineering Scotland" makes sense and is inclusive of all activities, but "Climb Britain"?! Mountaineering should remain part of the name if the organisation is to continue to be involved with all related activities. It is also incredibly sad that no member polling ever happened. In my view members should have been consulted or at least given a set of choices to vote on and express their opinion. Name change just for the sake of it doesn't make any sense. The only name change that would have been more sensible is to replace the British part of it with English given that the BMC doesn't really encompass all of Britain and Scotland has it's own. Unless of course the BMC becomes more of a parent organisation to the local ones. Epic fail... - Shocked BMC Member
