by Alan James UKClimbing, ROCKFAX and the BMC have cooperated to set up a new forum dedicated to BMC Area Matters. The intention is that BMC Area reps can use this forum to promote their meetings discuss matters relating to their areas which are normally only discussed at the various meetings. Some people find it difficult to attend the meetings and others have strong opinions on topics from other areas. By using this new forum we will hopefully encourage a wider participation in BMC Area politics.
