Information

Informal and friendly - the Braes O' Fife Mountaineering Club  has now been welcoming mountain-goers for 30 years.

The club's main activities centre on our week-end meets. We hold around 20 each year, mostly to club-huts (typical accommodation cost £5 per night) We also hold a few day meets and a week-long meet to Skye in the summer.

Most members leave on Friday evening, spend Saturday and Sunday on the hill, returning on Sunday evening.   If you want to attend just book your place and organise transport at the Harbour Bar on the Monday evening (9.30pm) before or contact the Meets Secretary.

Throughout the year other distractions include slide presentations, visits to climbing walls, evening rock-climbing sessions and a mountain trivia quiz.  The news page has details.

Mountaineering Council Of Scotland

Club membership includes membership of the Mountaineering Council of Scotland. Benefits include access to huts (including those listed in England and Wales by the British Mountaineering Council), courses in first-aid and winter skills, and third party and person-to-person liability insurance.

Members are also eligible to use the services provided by the BMC including holiday insurance and reciprocal rights cards for Alpine Huts.

Membership

Prospective members are asked to come on two week-end meets as guests before being invited to join as a full member.  Annual subscription is £20.  The club welcomes young members but seeks parental approval before accepting members under 18.
