Alpine Club Symposia
The Alpine Club hosts symposia from time to time, covering a wide range of mountain regions, with the aim of encouraging exploration and climbing. Organised by members of The Alpine Club, this event focuses on the mountains of a particular area, or on a specific aspect of mountaineering. Each symposium runs for a whole day and is typically held at a weekend in the Lake District, North Wales or the Peak District. During the day experts on the subject, including top mountaineers from around the world, give a series of illustrated presentations, creating an event that is both informative and inspiring. Take a look at the impressive list of speakers at recent and forthcoming symposia to see why these events are so popular. The symposia are usually open to members (at a discount) and non-members. Symposia are particularly useful for anyone planning an expedition or looking for new places to visit. Many expeditions have started in the bar after a symposium; but be warned: these events can be dangerously inspirational! The AC usually books a climbing hut for members to stay during the weekend of the symposium, and organises a dinner after the symposium. Being located in a climbing area, many members climb together on the Sunday, making for an enjoyable weekend.
