Helping the Bury Jubilee Outdoor Pursuits Centre

High Mountain trip Next Year

I am keen to get to the Himalayas or perhaps the Andes next year.

Staying Solvent

The club's financial system is very primitive. We collect subs, pay more than half of what we collect to the BMC, act as a bank for various (self financing) trips and occasionally buy sandwiches, pay YHA subscriptions or buy some of the bits and pieces we cannot borrow.

 

Analysts will recognise immediately that:

 

  • we get all our income during the first few weeks of the year - so we have to make the money last

Thanks for the loan of the harnesses.
We missed the walk today as I spent longer getting my mum's new tv to work than I thought I would and I didn't ralise the drive was an hour away. However Amy and I made up for it with a great afternoon at Troy Quarry instead- using her new harness!
