We’re throwing a party, come along.
We’re an incredible club filled with amazing club members. To celebrate, we have booked a spot at: the Camden Club: https://thecamdenclub.co.uk.

Date: 1st September 2024
Closest Station: Chalk Farm (Northern Line – fingers crossed no strikes!) – their main access method is by lift.
Time: 4-10pm! Their menu is here: https://thecamdenclub.co.uk/menus/
RSVP HERE: https://forms.gle/aPbaZGKeWm4oeX6r7

Everyone’s invited! The more the merrier. Members, friends, prospectives, & those curious about the club. Those with children, the Camden Club owner has told us that children are welcome though are being asked to stick close to their parents/guardians due to the many obstacles in the room like equipment and chairs.
If you have pictures of meets and events you’ve been to with the club and club members (official / unofficial events!) that you would love to share with us, please send them to chair@themmc.org.uk
What to expect at the 50th Party?
There’s food available to buy for dinner (it’s really quite good, I tried it!) and a huge selection of drinks.

We will be displaying pictures and objects from the last 50 years. I’ve had a preview and it’s pretty cool.

You’ll hear about the club’s early history from John, followed by David’s account covering the club’s history after this and his personal perspective. After the historical stuff, you’ll get an insight into the club as it is now from Ali T. 😁

We’ll then get a great couple of talks from our current members – one on their adventures and another from Oli B, on his personal journey in climbing and injury recovery.

This will all spaced out, with plenty of time to catch up and chatter!

To our Prospective Members – we support our members in showing the ropes to new climbers, however please recognise if you haven’t had any trad-climbing training yet as a seconder or have had regular indoor rope experience (for sport climbing), you may be requested to join the walking group(s) if the climbing leaders do not feel comfortable to take you out. This is a decision we will support.
For international meets, we strongly advise you go to previous meets with the club.
