As an employee it wouldn't be right for me to get into a discussion about some of the things quoted that I believe to be misrepresentations, but I will chime in on this one - I climbed with the CEO last week.

As a linked aside, anyone else have an issue on their phone where if they try to open any BMC website links (was just lookin up the reciprocal discount card for huts), it opens the RAD app? PITA.

PITA.Yes, the same for me. I thought it had fixed but turns out I'd deleted the RAD app and not reinstalled it. Still happening now reinstalled. I'll try and work out who at BMC is best to message about this.
Think this is a phone thing not a BMC thing? I get prompted Chrome or RAD when I open the app, and I click chrome. Maybe you clicked RAD "always" once and now it just keeps doing it?Not sure what the fix is, but fairly sure it's not for the RAD app to fix?
Would be interested to know how many keen outdoor boulderers/ general climbers on here aren't members. Anecdotally I know of a lot of people who climb a lot outside, care about access but aren't BMC members.
Christ alive! This thread reminds me of the current Sun story about a certain BBC presenter, as the facts come out it’s still potentially bad, but nothing like the initial scandal. Simon appears to be playing the role of Victoria Newton with the BMC mimicking the BBC by making no official statement and fuelling the fire of speculation.On the face of it, this seems very disappointing. I was unsure about the way the BMC set up GB Climbing but still think having the NRB and the NGB under the same umbrella benefits both roles, but with maybe the financial separation many of us were keen to see intially.I am, as ever, disappointed in the BMC Comms side of this. All I have to go on is screenshots in Facebook groups and hearsay on here, with numbers and stories that seem somewhat inconsistent. Why they let the rumour mill run away like this is beyond me, they must have seen this coming? Hopefully the promised “official statement” will give us the “other side of the story”.On a personal note, I will continue to be a member, continue to volunteer and continue to attempt to influence and affect change from “inside the tent”.
As an employee it wouldn't be right for me to get into a discussion about some of the things quoted that I believe to be misrepresentations, but I will chime in on this one - I climbed with the CEO last week. This non-climber trope is wheeled out regularly, use your own judgement to consider why.
Simon is saying two gone from access and more scalps being sort, Dave says one person has handed in their notice and believe there is another being sort. Who knows what is correct?
Just on this - Dave says one has been handed their notice, not has handed in their notice. So the gap between the two statements is not that wide
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the BMC here, despite the fact I am a member, do volunteer, and think they are an essential force for good I am pissed off with them and want them to get their act together.
And get rid of the discounting the first year of membership. You want lifelong members. Fair, transparent pricing. You’re not selling Broadband. Never understood why they do that.

In essence, the app says "I know how to open links like https://www.thebmc.co.uk/modules/RAD/View.aspx?id=1589", and you upload a special file to your website to say "I know about the BMC app, if it wants to ope links like https://www.thebmc.co.uk/modules/RAD/View.aspx?id=1589 then you can let it".I assume somewhere along the line the RAD app/BMC website has been misconfigured, so instead of just intercepting RAD links it's intercepting all links to the BMC website.ed: just done a little digging and it looks like the website side is configured correctly, so I think the problem is in the app.
The IT team are aware, and looking into this, but apparently to begin with they were unable to replicate the fault and therefore track the problem and fix it. They are having another try though!
