Peak Area Meeting: 20 March

The next Peak Area Meeting will be on Wednesday 20 March 2019, starting at 7.30pm, at The Maynard, Grindleford, S32 2HE.

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, and to meet like-minded people and enjoy a sociable night out.

Derbyshire Constabulary’s Wildlife Crime Officer and the RSPB Investigations Team will be attending the meeting to tell us more about what they are doing to protect wildlife and what we can do to help.

All are welcome; food will be provided by the BMC, available from 6.30pm.

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