JB getting stuffed into his cardboard box for the winter I assume?

anything earth shattering happen at last night's chin-wag-beard-fest?

Or was it a bearded-WAG-chin-fest?

No one noticed the 'bolt all routes at Stanage' paragraph tucked away in AOB...

Not really earth shattering.... Q&A with Helen from staff Wildlife Trust...brief discussion of bad bolts... 'we' need to talk someone who got ticketed at Harper Hill to get the real details (as opposed to rumours). Lots of discount guides on offer (BMC moors and Rockfax peak limestone). Dan demonstated destruction of various bits or gear from new to lethal looking with a few surprises (at least to me ...JB seemed to know what was coming).

It turns out crabs get stronger with age, and you can safely climb with your draws cut halfway through to look like a hardcase.

[Bonjoy]

As do lobsters... and brie

Dear all,

Please go to the link below for the agenda for the next BMC Peak Area meeting
that is taking place on the 12th September at The Globe Inn, Glossop
(postcode etc on the agenda) and the notes from the last meeeting. Get there early to get your beer in (which is fantastic) for a 7.30pm start as there's lots to discuss - we'll be in the room upstairs.

Also, after the free supper, local lad (literally a stones throw from
the pub) Dan Lane, will be giving his inaugural lecture/slideshow.

Hope to see you there. Bye for now,

Moff

Just had another agenda item through from Dave Turnbull - BMC Drilled Equipment Policy - that will be discussed. A copy of it can be found here:

See you tomorrow - the beer is very good and cheap!

Heading out with PaulB from Broomhill, Sheffield at 7pm if anyone wants a lift

BMC Peak Area AGM and Annual Quiz by Dave and Co. - 21st November, 7.30pm , The Maynard. Please come but try not win everything this year.

On an oddly related topic, I know it's probably a long shot, but does anyone know of any beer that significantly reduces sweat levels?

[dave]

OK people the quiz is written by Lovejoy and myself, which means that since we're not entering it gives everyone else a chance to win for a change. My bookshelf just can't accomodate any more free guidebooks.

Suggested reading if you want to bone up:
Any peak guidebook produced in the last 50 years
OTEs from the 1990s

Bouldering trivia spanning the entire gamut from pinches wall to powerband, and everything in between.

Will even throw in a few mountain questions for fat lads in ronhills, can't say fairer than that.

[shark]

I've had a request from the Chair that the UKB collective gives the other teams a chance.

I suggest we tie one arm behind our backs.

[Offwidth]

This is Moff - does Offwidth ever sign-off???

Anyway .....just a reminder that the next BMC Peak Area Meeting is taking place this Wednesday (21st November) at The Maynard, Grindleford. We'll be kicking off at 7.30pm, so get there a bit earlier to make sure you get your drink in.

Free butties and chips are being provided by the BMC.

Also, after the AGM and Ordinary Meeting, it's the annual quiz. We've got some amazing prizes....so if you only come to one meeting a year - make it this one!

Green Peak Gear (www.greenpeakgear.org) are coming along on Wednesday and will be selling their products - they are a Community Interest Group and all profits goes to the BMC Access and Conservation Trust - so don't be mean now!

Go here for all the papers for Wednesday, including the latest Peak Area newsletter:
http://community.thebmc.co.uk/Event.aspx?id=2764

Hope to see you all on Wednesday.

I've decided to split you lot up - or maybe I'll just join your table so I'll win as-well!

[Bonjoy]

Dave has opted not to use a couple (of my favourite ) questions.  So thought I'd post them up here as warm up Qs.

1. FACEMASH. Name these three.



2. Odd one out. Which of these four is the odd one out and why?

[shark]

No idea about the Orcs.

C isnt in the UK but I'm sure that's not what you're looking for

Anyone want a lift from the Totley area tonight ?

It's not D but you're on the right lines.
