The time has come to share the 2023 meets calendar with the lovely NLMC community! Hope everyone is excited for another jampacked year of meets. Per usual, meets threads will be set up for individual meets planning, so look out for threads and sign-up sheets. Look forward to seeing you all for some mountain and cragging fun this year!
As a note, if you are planning to join any meets, please make sure you are familiar with the BMC’s statement of participation:
The BMC recognises that climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions. As a BMC affiliated club the NLMC benefits from Combined Liability Insurance – all club members, whose names and addresses we hold, benefit from £15 million Combined Liability Insurance world-wide.
I understand that this proposal may go against the traditional NLMC planning approach, which was one of the reasons I joined the club, but given that the Lake District meet is on a bank holiday, we should maybe try to book a place to stay now. Maybe even a hut? If any of the club huts are still miraculously available, the price is probably going to be comparable to camping.
Matt, there is soooooo much nonsense and noise and idiocy on that thread it stands out even by UKC standards. People really have not idea what they are on about on that one. Let’s wait and see what happens in France but don’t base any predictions on anything seen in a thread where non-lawyers are speculating about a legal system they haven’t got even the most rudimentary understanding of.
All - just a note to say that the Alps meet is looking not to be a formal meet this year, mainly due to weather instability and suiting differing objectives. You can follow the ongoing conversations of informal trips in the works here: https://chat.nlmc.co.uk/t/which-mountains-shall-we-visit-next-summer/
