Thanks Paul. So just to clarify, York MC is a Club affiliated to the BMC and I think all York Members will have received the BMC circular.
It’s worthy of note, that the great bulk of our membership cost is passed on to the BMC as affiliation fees. Out of our £30 subs, somthing like £23 goes to the BMC and the York club runs on around £7 per person p.a.
One of the chief benefits of BMC affiliation is accident insurance. The topic was cruelly highlighted about 3 years ago when an affiliated club was liable for £5 million after an accident at a climbing wall. Non-members will not have BMC insurance backing, of course, unless they are individual BMC members.
