BMC Lakes Area Meeting
Come to our next gathering of Lakes climbers and walkers and get involved in the BMC.
The next BMC Lakes Area Meeting will be held on Thursday 31st July in person, at Grasmere Gather, Church Stile Grasmere, Ambleside, LA22 9SW
The BMC area meeting will start at 6:30pm.
The Lake District National Park’s new CEO Gavin Capstick will be joining us for this meeting and social event. Gavin will introduce himself and take part in a live Q&A with Ken Taylor as compere. We are keen to give members the opportunity to find out how the future of the Lake District National Park is likely to unfold.
So, what’s concerning you – is the Lake District at risk of becoming a “theme park"? What does he think about “wild camping”? Why are rights of way becoming harder to use? How does he see the traffic congestion in some parts of the Lakes being addressed? If you have a question for Gavin, please send it to lakes@thebmc.co.uk by June 6th.
If you would also like to join us before the meeting, there will be an organised walk leaving from the Gather at 1pm, followed by tea and cakes at 5pm before the Area meeting starts - details to follow.
