Hi All

Just a few thoughts regarding evening meets.

attendances have been disappointing and on a few occasions I have turned up to find no one there when the conditions were perfectly climbable. Whether the meet is on a Tuesday or Wednesday or any other day for that matter seems academic if no one is going to turn up.

Regarding the points Vanda & Bill have made

!. I do not think the choice of venues is too predictable. There are a finite number of possible venues suitable for an evening meet due to length of walk in etc but there is lots of brilliant rock in the Peak so that repeating routes is not a problem for me in any way.

2.The lack of a regular climbing partner is very much a problem but has n,t stopped me turning up and being prepared to climb with whoever turns up. If attendances were better on evening meets this would no longer be an issue.

3.After a few meets when I was the only person there I have begun to put something on the messageboard asking if anyone was going. I sometimes actually got a reply. Maybe we could make more use of the messageboard for this and perhaps with people putting a mobile number for contact.

4 I think this might help even if merely a designated person as a contact point?????

5 I think an earlier start is an excellent idea. meeting the needs of both retired and working members.

6. I do think this idea may have merit it does seen a shame to be on an indoor wall when it is climbable outside but this will clearly depend on individual preferences and needs to be decided upon on an individual and day to day basis.

Hope these thoughts are helpful. What do other people think?

Hi Linda

I do recall your suggestion of minibus transport. I didn’t realise that it was urgent at the present time

I do think it is a good idea however and Fran and I would be interested if this proved to be an option.

Regarding the walking and climbing challenges, I would love to be able to offer a contribution but am in North Wales all next week.

Does everything have to be done next week ???? or will there be time to contribute stuff when I am less busy perhaps from mid August onwards. Also can things be added from previous previous walks etc?

Hi Mary

Thanks

This is clearly a difficult issue as there are reasonable arguments on both sides.

I feel however that the decisions taken in the past to alternate between Tues and weds were taken for good reasons as outlined by Paul. I feel that these reasons are still entirely valid and would suggest leaving things as they are would be the best thing to do

Hi folks

i intend to arrive late afternoon/early evening Friday and have already added myself onto the numbers for the meal on sat

See you tomorrow

Just like to say thanks to Mike for organising a brilliant meet

Happilly the issue causing my crampon and boot to part company is resolved

The problem was an adjusting screw which had worked a bit loose and got worse by movement and consequently there was insufficient tension to keep the front bale in place

now looking forward to the next dump of snow
