Social evenings are held on the third Wednesday of each month except in December, where the Xmas calendar will dictate the socials. We meet in the upstairs room of a pub called The Devereux at 20 Devereux Court, Temple, London WC2R 3JJ (map).
Socialising starts in the pub from 7pm and the main event kicks off at about 8pm in the upstairs room.
Sometimes we have a purely social evening or a quiz night, but socials are talks and slide or movie presentations by outside speakers or talented club members on climbing and mountaineering related topics.
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.
And finally we will have a Climbing Quiz with rockrun.com gift cards
1st place £25 gift card
2nd place 2X £10 gift card (First gift card is yours, second gift card to be given to whom ever you see fit, or whom ever bought you the most pints )

Do you find yourself with pent-up anger towards work? London traffic? the weather?
Do you wish you can enact revenge on your fellow belayer, Climbing, hiking, mountaineering partner?
Or even better a chance to shoot your friend or dare I say some committee members?
Then this is the event for you!

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.
