Social Meets

From autumn 2008, the Social Meets programme will be carried out

in collaboration with the

ABMSAC, AAC, Fell and Rock, and the Rucksack clubs.

 

All the lectures will take place at the Chadwick Street Recreation Centre (CSRC) in Chadwick Street, London, SW1E 2EP

on a WEDNESDAY as listed below.

(Prior to this programme, the TCC will hold two additional social meets over the summer 2008 - NB the day!)

 

Entry to the CSRC is free to TCC Members and guests. Talks start at 7.30 in an upper floor meeting room (check room name and floor with Reception on arrival).

Meals, served between 4:00pm to 8:15pm, and drinks can be purchased very reasonably in the cafeteria and bar on the first floor.

Chadwick Street is off the Horseferry Road, Victoria, central London, and the CSRC is behind the modern steel and glass Channel 4 Television HQ building. For a more detailed street map, go to multimap .

The nearest Tube station is St.James's Park (Circle and District Lines).

On-street parking is free after 6:30pm - the congestion charge applies only until 6:00pm.

 

Meetings will usually take the form of an invited speaker with or without an accompanying slide show. Topics in the past have ranged from trekking and climbing in the Himalayas to a whistle stop tour of the geology of the Lake District.

In addition, the social meets are an ideal way of getting to meet people for the first time and of course to find out about, and plan, travel arrangements for the forthcoming trips away.

Members of other clubs, and guests, are welcome.
