Agenda
As the next Members Open Forum rolls around we're delighted to let you know that this edition will feature an 'in conversation' session with legendary climber Steve McClure.
Steve needs no introduction - but we’ll give him one anyway. With a legendary career spanning both sport and trad climbing, Steve has redefined what's possible on rock. From establishing Rainman – Britain’s hardest sport route – to making second ascents of Lexicon (E11 7a) and Rhapsody (E11 7a).
As ever, the Forum is your opportunity to stay connected with the BMC and have your voice heard. We’ll have updates from BMC CEO, Paul Ratcliffe, and BMC President, Dom Oughton, including a look at the past year’s finances and progress on the BMC Strategy to 2030.
Got questions? Paul and other members of the BMC team will be on hand to answer them. Whether it’s strategy, membership, or access - if it matters to you, we want to hear it.
