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. Unless otherwise stated, all events are held at the Glen Moray distillery Visitors Centre in Elgin.
On the social side, there is usually a BBQ in June and some years 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.
