We also ask that you have a clear understanding of the following BMC Participation Statement:​

​

« Climbing, hill walking and mountaineering can provide life-long physical, social and mental health benefits through exercise and adventure in amazing environments. The BMC recognises that these activities involve a risk of personal injury or death. Participants should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and impacts on others. »

​Once you have applied, our Membership Secretary will review your application and either:

​

• Ask follow-up questions to confirm your experience and minimum competencies, or

• Invite you to one of our monthly new members talks, where we explain how the club works and answer any questions you may have.

​

Please note that attendance at a new members talk is a requirement of joining the club.

​

Keep an eye on your junk/spam/promotions folders, as invitation emails occasionally end up there.

 

We look forward to meeting you!
