Peak Area Meeting: 11 April

The next Peak Area Meeting is on Wednesday 11 April 2018, starting at 7.30pm, at The Maynard, Main Road, Grindleford, S32 2HE

Come along to Grindleford for our next gathering of Peak District 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.

BMC Organisational Review: latest developments
National Council has established a working group to develop proposals for implementing the review group’s recommendations, and these proposals will be published prior to the meeting, which will offer an important opportunity for members to provide feedback and influence the final version of the proposals, to be presented to members for approval at the BMC AGM on 16 June.

All are welcome; food will be provided by the BMC.

See the BMC Local Areas site for more details about the meeting
