This year’s AGM will be hosted by VP Keith at his new(ish) home in the Welsh Borders. The venue provides easy access to Snowdonia as well as some local venues for excellent trad, sport and bouldering.

Arrive Friday for a BBQ and to plan the following day’s activities which are likely to include a full day of trad in the National Park.

The AGM will be held on Saturday evening. As ever, an agenda will be posted by the President, Vice President and Secretary at least one month before. If you wish to add anything, then please raise this as early as possible. Then, your views or discussion points will be included.

At this stage, the plan for Sunday is likely to be a trip to Llangollen where people can choose between trad, sport and/or bouldering.

Accommodation: Keith’s place offers a mix of indoor accommodation and plenty of riverside camping. Indoors will be on a first come, first served basis so book early if you don’t want to camp.

Food: Bring your favourite BBQ food or something to chuck in the Aga.

Services: Oswestry is 8 miles away which provides everything most people will need.

Transport: Car is best… Otherwise, arrive at Gobowen by train or Oswestry by bus and we will pick you up if you give us enough time to coordinate. Those travelling from Denmark, this is the trip not to be missed contact Jim and he will try to coordinate lifts or direct you to the best airport, probably Manchester, Birmingham or Bristol.
