In 2014 five members of the LMC went on an expedition to the remote wild west of Nepal. Crossing three passes over 5000 metres they found themselves in a land where ancient Tibetan culture still exists. In these mountains are ancient temples, wolves and the elusive snow leopard.
Tonight Tony Hamza will show a video of this remarkable journey.

The AGM is an important process in determining the future direction of the club so it's important to have as many club members there as we can to ensure everyone's voices are heard. From ensuring you get the right candidates for the appropriate committee positions to ensuring everyone can provide feedback and vote, a well run AGM will ensure that preparations for the rest of the year are on track.

Please make every effort to attend the AGM this year.

Meeting starts at 8pm.
