Pub Nights

Pub Meet Dirty Dicks, Bishopsgate, right by Liverpool Street Station .Next Meet 8 January. Contact Rob Johnson membership@themmc.org.uk if you are a prospective new member. This follows the monthly committee meeting so there is guaranteed to be a decent crop of old members there too. It seems to be getting more popular if the bleary eyed folk stumbling around Bishopsgate at chucking out time after the last meeting are anything to judge by

Christmas Dinner 13 January

Yes we are having a Christmas dinner. This will be at Sofra Covent Garden, 36 Tavistock Street. We have opted for the two course Menu #2@ £15.70. Contact Anna Dickerson social@themmc.org.uk by 23 December to book a space.

Training

People don't improve their climbing by accident. You need to practice. So if you want to up your grade, start leading or just not continue as a V.diff bumbler for the rest of your life come to the wall and practice. Fairly regular sessions are now taking place at the Westway and the Castle as follows:
Sunday afternoon at the Castle contact Simon Atkins chair@themmc.org.uk
