Indoor Meets

Between September and April, once a month, a series of indoor meets is arranged, usually on the Thursday following the bus meet. The venue and programme is announced on a separate syllabus and there is likely to be a small charge to cover expenses for the speaker and the cost of the room. The format is usually an illustrated talk on a subject of interest to mountaineers, but particularly popular each year is the members’ slide show when the club’s keen photographers show their best slides from the previous year. There are prizes for various categories. On the social side, there is usually a BBQ in June and an annual Ceilidh in November. After the December bus meet (a short walking day), the coach traditionally calls at a hotel for a pre-planned Christmas meal. This is often so popular that in addition to a full coach, several members and guests come by car.
