Peak Area Meeting: 27 November

The next Peak Area Meeting will be on Wednesday 27 November 2019, starting at 7.30pm, at The Norfolk Arms, Ringinglow, S11 7TS.

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.

The November meeting is also the Area AGM and will include elections for various volunteer roles; and it just wouldn’t be the end of year meeting without the legendary Annual Quiz.

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
