Member's Multimedia Night
MMN is a staple favourite but only exists and works with input from YOU! Please get in touch if you have mountain-related stories to share and don't be shy.

[Note: All speaker and mountain-related subjects are eligible for air-time. Please email if you are interested in a slot. Plan on speaking for 5-10 mins, with QUALITY as a priority over quantity of content].

Open as appointment
External Speaker - James Edwards
“Edwardian Adventures (Tales of Modern Alpinism)”

Not a historical retrospective, as the title may suggest, but a journey into the climbing adventures of one James Edwards. James has been a keen new router up in Scotland over the last decade and has transferred these skills to tackle adventurous faces as far away as the Himalaya and Southern Alps of New Zealand. During the evening James will take us through some of his new routing trips and discuss the idea that you don’t have to be a superhero to have adventures.

At homes - Social evenings - are held on the third Thursday of each month except in December. We meet in the upstairs room of a pub called the 'Devereux' at 20 Devereux Court, London WC2R 3JJ.

Click here for a map

Socialising starts in the upstairs room at 19:00 and the main event is in the upstairs room is at 20:00.

Devereux Court is off Essex Street which is a cul-de-sac leading south from the Law Courts end of the Strand. Nearest tube stations are Holborn on the Central & Piccadilly Lines (10 mins) and Temple on the District & Circle Lines (3 mins). There are numerous buses including North-South routes 59, 68, 168, 91 and East-West routes 4, 11, 23, 26, 172, 341 that have stops around Aldwych.

From Holborn tube walk south all the way down Kingsway to the Aldwych and turn left; after 200 yards cross the road and pass in front of St Clements Church which is on a large traffic island; across the next carriageway, and bearing left is a green neon sign for The Yorkshire Building Society; this marks the corner of Essex Street - Devereux Court is about 50 yards down on the left.

From Temple tube turn left as you leave the station and mount the steps into Temple Place; turn right and follow Temple Place to where it bends right to meet the Embankment; across the road is a red telephone box at the entrance to Milford Lane; follow this lane (20 yards) to a set of narrow steps leading to the south end of Essex Street, keep walking - Devereux Court is the first turning you come to on your right

Sometimes we have a purely social evening or a quiz night but most At Homes are talks and slide or movie presentations by outside speakers or talented club members on climbing and mountaineering related topics. These are mostly very good ! Watch out for the March one as we have our Annual General Meeting then - very dull to an outsider !

We have an annual dinner-dance at a hotel in Snowdonia.
