What we’re about
Hi, fellow RAMS who were formerly known as the 'London Bouldering group'. As the organizer, I have decided to rename this group for several reasons:
- The name conflicted with other similarly named groups and I wanted to create a unique identity.
- Create a group that was embodied in the name, that you guys will be proud to be a part of.
- Create a group that would be able to lead as a group and individually, through knowledge and experience via structured lessons available to those who are interested.
and lastly - We can have a mascot that is described by our name :)
So from now on it shall be called: The RAMS (Rock And Mountain Sports) climbing group. We will climb at 4 different venues around London, initially. Twice a week at each venue (The Castle Climbing Centre, North - Mile End Climbing Wall, East - The Reach, South and Westway Climbing Wall, West London).
There will be visiting guest speakers giving talks that we will hold at the climbing venues. There will be outdoor climbing weekends and weeks too in the UK and abroad. We will also uniquely have courses that will be held to further our skills and technical proficiency for those that are interested in our Climbing Academy.
The ethos of meetup.com isn't changing so meeting new people and learning new things is the same. And yes we will also go to the pub afterward for a few beers!
I hope you all get as excited as I am in creating and running this group that will become a leader in this field!
p.s. There will be charges for membership and administration.
