Before you join

If you're not sure whether the Mountaineering Club is right for you there are plenty of ways to find out more:

  • First of all, explore the website, there's loads of info on here about the club and what we do.
  • Check out the forums, the public forum is there for you to ask any questions before you've joined so feel free to make use of it!
  • Come down to our stand at the Sports fair where we'll have plenty of people on hand to answer your questions.
  • Feel free to email any of the members of the committee using the email addresses on the Committee page.

We'll also be holding events during and shortly after freshers week, there'll be a bouldering taster session on the uni wall with freshly baked cakes for all those who give it a try, a local walk to explore the area around bath most likely stopping off at a pub for some well earned refreshments. You don't have to be a member of the club to take part in any of these activities, so get yourself along! Check the calendar closer to the time and keep an eye out in freshers week for more details on dates and locations.
