Meet Sheet
The reason most people join the club is to spend time with like-minded people in the great wide open. Meets are arranged throughout the year. A “meet sheet” is continuously updated. You can click the large button below to see the up-to-date list.
If you would like to contribute to the meet sheet, please contact the hiking or meet sheet committee member.
Impromptu meets may be arranged at short notice. The details will be distributed by email. Information about meet changes and adventure talks will be distributed in the same way. If anyone is going on an impromptu trip and would like to open it to other MCSA members you are very welcome to invite.
