Hi George,
and everybody else,
The AGM is set for the 15th of February at Rosie O’Grady’s in their upstairs area. Memberships can be taken on the night as can be nominations for the committee. Even if you can’t be on committee, I would suggest that the whole climbing community start finding out how to get input into these processes, because they are not going to go away. To those who want to say we (the management committee) should already know, I absolutely agree but DEC have no information booklet that says “This is what we are going to do you but here’s is how to stop us” and we all including everyone reading this have jobs or/and studies while DEC staff are paid full-time to make up all these regulations. Its what they do, while we just want to go climbing.
The alternative to learning how to deal with it is losing our rights.
Cheers,
Toc.
