Romsey Climbers

At the AGM on Friday 22nd November at Calshot, we will be voting the committee members in for 2020. As well as the opportunity for any member to stand for any of the committee roles, there are some vacancies available.

We will be needing a new Membership Officer, Gear Officer and a Committee Member. We also wish to create a new role as Social Officer (to arrange any social events for the club). If you wish to stand for any of the roles, please let me know before the 15th November, in time for the voting at the AGM on Friday 22nd November at Calshot wall. All members are invited to attend the AGM at 8-00pm in the Boothman Room. We will be climbing from 6-00 to 8-00 before the meeting, and gathering in the cafe after the meeting (about 9-30 for a drink and chat. Pete

Hi to all existing RoCs members.

Now is the time to start thinking about climbing in 2020. Your current membership will expire on 31st December. I have sent you a renewal form for you to complete and return to me, regardless of how you pay your membership fee for 2020, which has had to be increased to £25 (due to an increase of £6 per member by the BMC). When you pay your renewal by cash, cheque or bank transfer, please send or give to me your completed form for 2020, as I cannot register you with RoCs or the BMC without it. Please renew before the end of December.

Thanks, Pete

Hi to all RoCs members. Just for you to put this in your diary for November. The AGM will be held at Calshot wall on Friday November 22nd in the usual Boothman room starting at 8-00pm. After the meeting has ended (usually about 9-30) we will retire to the cafe/bar for drinks, food and a chat about our plans for 2020! (and stories from 2019?) If you wish to climb before the meeting we shall be there about 6-00pm. All members are welcome to attend this friendly (not too official) meeting of Romsey Climbers.

The meeting place will be Gecko wall at 8-30 where we can sort out lift sharing and cars. I will be going with Patrick and Ro. Looks like the weather is going to be ok. An ideal trip for members who have not climbed outside on real rock or wish to be introduced to some Trad climbing. If you wish to go, be at Gecko wall on Sunday by 8-30.

The minutes of the July committee meeting have been posted on the Committee meeting page under 2019 section, under the members Tab. You will need to log in with your password to see this.

Please read the changes to the RoCs Constitution and Rules which have been updated to comply with the latest BMC instructions. You can find them on the Members page, which you will need to log into using your password. A copy has been sent out by E mail to all club members. Pete

The next RoCs meet is a trip to the Mendips for a day’s trad climbing. It’s very suitable for both experienced and novice outdoor climbers with some nice routes across the grades. Take a look at the meet webpage and sign up if you’d like to join us for a day’s friendly climbing!

After a couple of years talking about it, a trip to Nepal is now on the RoCs calendar! It’s up a 6,461m/21,216ft Himalayan peak and takes place over three weeks in April 2020. More details on the meet page and you’ve got until 31 July to decide if you want to join this memorable trip.

There’s more details about the November Spanish meet on the meet page. It’s a great opportunity to get some quality climbing at the end of the season. I want to book accommodation so you need to sign up by 31 May if you’re coming.
