The membership fee will increase to €60 for the 2019/2020 walking year. This is the first increase since the Club was founded in 2006.

The Club AGM will be held on Thursday 14th November, followed by the walks planning meeting on Thursday November 21st (meaning now would be a good time to start thinking about walks you'd like to propose! Support/training always there for those who would like to take the first step and lead a walk).

Further details will be posted closer to the time.

Mountaineering Ireland Autumn Gathering and Chris Bonington lecture

This year's autumn gathering will be hosted by the Kilmacthomas Walking Club from Co. Waterford and takes place from 18-20 October 2019. If you haven't attended one before, the gatherings are a great way to mix and mingle and explore new parts of the country. The gathering will be based out of the Park Hotel in Dungarvan (where we stayed there when we walked St Declan's Way in 2014!). Details/booking here MI Autumn Gathering 2019

For those of you who remember Chris Bonington from the Bovril ad in the 1980s, the great man himself will be giving the Mountaineering Ireland Lynam Lecture on his many adventures at 7.30pm on the 18th of December at the Chartered Accountants Ireland lecture hall, 47-49 Pearse Street, Dublin 2.
