The club recently recieved a grant from awards for all.£6,000 to-wards consultancy fees for alan jones associates to carry out a feasability study for the proposed wall at picky,and for consultancy fees for taking the wall project forward.

We also got £4,000 to replace out of date gear in the four spa kits owned by the club (which are used regularly for club meets each week and include harnesses and helmets for use by new club members). Some new items for use by club members,including 2 general purpose 3 person tents, 1 / 3 person hilleberg expedition tent, gas stoves for camping, 2 bouldering mats,we also got 2 sets of, wall friendly, dry tooling axes which should prove popular for the indoor season. We will organise a list of gear that is available for club members to borrow(on a return in good condition or replace basis).

hi folks ,thanks to alan for the great photos.

many routes were climbed at both places by mick tighe and the marines in the 70's but were never recorded and then again in the 80's alan and friends did many routes as well which they never recorded either.it would be respectfull to mention this if recording any" new" routes as they have probably already been climbed.
