The next Peak Area Meeting is on Wednesday 8 June 2016, starting at 8.00pm, at The Winking Man, Buxton Road, Upper Hulme, Staffordshire, ST13 8UH.

Come along to our regular gathering of Peak climbers and walkers, to discuss the latest issues and get involved in the work of the BMC. The area meetings are run by volunteers and are your chance to join in with debate and influence decisions about what happens in your area as well as the rest of the country. 

Pre-meeting walk at the Roaches
We plan to take a short walk before the meeting, so if you fancy a breath of fresh air, and the weather is suitable, meet below the south end of The Roaches, at the Roaches Gate, by the car parking lay-by at SK 004 621 ready to set off walking at 6.30 p.m.

Free supper provided by the BMC. All are welcome.

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