Wednesday Night Climbing – 3rd May​

There were 14 members climbing at Gelli in the East last week, and everyone climbed a few routes before descending to Fagins for a debrief.

This week we have a joint meet at Box Bay, Porthcawl, which will be a good opportunity to climb outside with members from the other side and get to know everyone.

Weather forecast looks promising and we’ll be meeting from about 5:30pm. Details and directions are available here: https://swmc.org.uk/wiki/Box_Bay

If you’re attending and are offering, or require lift sharing, please feel free to post on the Facebook event page or on the Bulletin Board.

First Aid Course – 7th & 8th May

There are still a few places available on the course this weekend. If you would like a place, please contact Pete Clarke via [email protected].

The course is an REC level 2, two day, certificated emergency first aid course. It is a required qualification for NGB awards. The course leaders are experienced mountain rescuers and leadership trainers. The course location is at Swansea University Bay Campus east of Swansea and located not far from junction 42 of the M4.

The cost for members of SWMC is £47. This includes mid break refreshments. The student refectory offers good value lunches or there are open spaces including the beach to take packed lunches.

Additional details will be sent to those attending separately. This is a very good value course thanks to a grant from Sport Wales, the normal cost for such a course is around £120.
