Area Meetings are an opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and have a say in the future of the BMC and the activities we support in your area. You'll hear updates on local issues and have the opportunity to vote on a number of matters.

Erdington train station is approximately an 8 minute walk away.
A talk by Gary Gibson
Following the meeting, there will be a talk by Gary Gibson. Gary’s climbing career spans five decades, during which it’s hard to imagine anyone else who’s courted so much controversy while having such a significant impact on British rock climbing. Fresh from a trip to Kalymnos, and with his new route tally ~5,300, come and hear from the man himself, a fellow BMC Midlands Area member, about what drove him as he reflects on his climbing legacy so far.

The dramatic skyline of the Great Ridge walk connects the summits of Lose Hill and Mam Tor in Derbyshire’s Hope Valley.
