Perhaps not the warmest start to the outdoor season, but tradition prevailed as seven of us knocked off a few classics which included Eastby Buttress (VD), Nose Climb (S) and Scoop & Crack (S*). John B is seen here finishing Last Orders (VS), now that reminds me!

Temperatures permitting does anyone fancy some easy cragging this weekend.

I’ll be climbing out somewhere on Sunday for those wishing to join me (possibly Gigglewick) let me know. Andy 07900 933 339

To everybody who attended the end of year assembly last Thursday.

I thought it would simply be a case of handing back the marked homework with a list of the necessary corrections. I wasn’t expecting the headmaster to intervene and order a long period of detention for us to go through the whole caboodle again as another class exercise. I’m sorry this happened and that it went on forever.

Thanks to everyone for not throwing chairs around and for not hitting me and saying it was all my fault.

Everyone gets a Gold Star for being good.

Dear Members, After quite a few years of managing our website, Steve is now wishing to hand this role over to a willing volunteer after the club AGM which is on Thursday 14th March. CMC use Vidahost , a WordPress hosting site, however an administrator is needed to maintain the website and keep emails and contacts up to date. If this role is of interest to you, please let us know. Thanks all, Shirley
