HOW TO ATTEND ONLINE   Members who have provided BMC with an email address (and haven’t unsubscribed from receiving BMC newsletters) will receive an email containing a hyperlink for the Zoom meeting, usually about 10 days before the meeting. If you do not receive this email, and wish to attend the meeting, you can request the Zoom hyperlink by emailing Local Areas Co-ordinator Tony Ryan on tony@thebmc.co.uk – please include your membership number; it would also be helpful if you could advise us whether you wish your email address to be added to your member record, so that we can send you invitations to future Area Meetings. Remember Area Meetings are run by volunteers and provide an opportunity for you to discuss issues and influence decisions affecting climbers & walkers locally & nationally. All are welcome. The Meeting Agenda and further information is available on www.thebmc.co.uk There are 2 main points to notice:- 1) Because the Midland Area does not have a Chairperson, the last meeting was a joint one with London & South East Area!! Does any WBMC member fancy doing a spell in this prestigious position? 2) Following the meeting, there will be a Guest Speaker!!! Mohammed Dhalech, the Ordnance Survey's "Get Outdoors Champion" and BMC Equity Steering Group member, will share his passion for engaging Black & Minority Ethnic communities in accessing the countryside and outdoors - a topic that should be of great interest to this Club, especially in the light of the AGM discussion on increasing coach passenger numbers. Don't forget you can also engage through BMC Midlands Area group on Facebook
