Socials

The Club was founded 70 years ago this May. There have been a good few developments in that time and Tony will be showing pictures of some Club activities in the 60’s and his climbing in the 1970’s and 1980’s to mark this anniversary. He hopes to be supported by Club member Jeremy Schwartz whose father was a founder member of the Club.

Social gathering and drinks from 18:30. Talk starts at 19:30.

Going to the Alps in 1952

Please note: we are still confirming the venue for this month's talk.

IF YOU CANNOT MAKE THE MEETING IN PERSON BUT WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH THE SECRETARY FOR A ZOOM LINK.

The AGM is an important process in determining the future direction of the club so it's important to have as many club members there as we can to ensure everyone's voices are heard. From ensuring you get the right candidates for the appropriate committee positions to ensuring everyone can provide feedback and vote, a well run AGM will ensure that preparations for the rest of the year are on track.

Please make every effort to attend the AGM this year.

Social gathering and drinks from 7pm. Formal meeting starts at 7.30pm.

***Free drink for the first 20 people to arrive***

Hi climbing gang! With the summer season in full swing, Wednesday’s social is a chance to meet up with fellow climbers to plan your summer of adventures. We don’t have a booked space in a pub, but I am suggesting meeting at the old social spot, The Deveruex, WC2R 3JJ, for a pint and a catch up (the Star of Kings has a ticketed event for the footy fyi). They do show sport at The Devereux so either run for the hills if you don’t want to get caught up in the madness, or stick around together to watch the big game (is it coming home?!). I suggest meeting from 6.30pm onwards . Alas I can’t make this one, but happy socialising, have a great summer and we’ll be back with a full schedule of socialising in September!

At Home is a lecture from a member or guest about adventures on a subject of mountaineering.

Lecture from Jon Armstrong: For over two decades, Jon has served in some of the British Army’s most unique regiments including Royal Gurkha. He has survived in some of the most inhospitable, extreme and awe inspiring corners of the world, including the high Arctic, where he skied amongst polar bears, the jungle where he annoyed a green viper and the Atlantic where he was hit in the head by a flying fish.
During his talk, Jon will tell stories from his adventures (and misadventures), giving a glimpse of what life at the very edge of endurance.


When: Arrive from 6.30pm, lecture from 7.30pm

A Peak to Far

An LMC trip into the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Southern Spain, overcoming a hostile environment, poor weather and naughty foxes.

This year our LMC Christmas Party is going to be bigger than ever! We are in the beautiful Crypt on the Green (don't worry it won't be set up like a wedding!)

We have a ceilidh band made up of LMC members, which is absolutely not to be missed. Here's a taste of the music if you've never been to a ceilidh before. (Dancing not compulsory! ) We'll be doing food for everyone, a big curry or chilli. There will be drinks flowing for the night to buy from the bar. Come and relax, have a drink and some food, a dance if you feel like it, and catch up with friends about the year's mountain adventures (or start scheming next year...!).
Partners and guests are all welcome, just add them as a guest as you would for a meet.
