The next Peak Area Meeting is on Wednesday 16 November 2016, starting at 7.30pm, at The Maynard, Main Road, Grindleford, S32 2HE

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. 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. It’s the Area AGM, so elections will be taking place for various area officer and representative roles; and we will also be holding the Annual Quiz of fun and general chaos with amazing prizes!

Free supper provided by the BMC. All are welcome.

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