The Alpine Club, the world’s first mountaineering club, was founded in 1857.  For over 150 years, members have been at the leading edge of worldwide mountaineering development and exploration. 

With membership, experienced and aspiring alpinists benefit from a varied meets programme, regional lectures with notable guest speakers, reduced rates at many alpine huts, opportunity to apply for grants to support expeditions, significant discounts at many UK retailers, extensive networking contacts, access to the AC Library and maps - and more!

Lectures

Here is a list of lectures at the Alpine Club. Select additional pages using the numbers at the bottom.

The lectures provide a good opportunity for AC members to meet one another and exchange news, views and information. New members and prospective members are particularly welcome. Prospective members are asked to contact the AC office before attending. Lectures generally start at 7:30pm.

For the lectures in London, non-members are asked to register their attendance in advance either by filling in the relevant form on the lecture page or by contacting the office at admin@alpineclub.org (Please note that a donation is requested on entry).

Dogs (except for guide dogs) are not permitted at lectures. Since these events are open to both members and the general public, we need to be mindful of potential allergies or phobias that attendees may have.

Anyone who has had an interesting trip and would be prepared to lecture is invited to contact the AC Office or the lecture organisers.

Each event includes a clickable map with the address of the venue.

New Members North Wales Meet 2016
From Friday 06 May 2016
To Sunday 08 May 2016
Contact Jonathan White
Friday 06 May 2016

Dates: From Friday 6th to Sunday 8th May 2016

Detail:

This annual meet is aimed primarily at new members of the club, and those who have been members for some time and either haven’t yet got involved, or who would like to get involved again after a time out of the loop. Previous years have seen people climbing, walking, scrambling, and even playing table tennis – it’s very much a personal choice. The meet is as much about getting to know some other club members, and some have found it a useful time to brush up on alpine techniques with potential partners before heading further afield in the summer.

The hut is just below Snowdon, giving easy access to all the high mountains. It sleeps 20, and we’ll hopefully arrange a communal meal for the Saturday night. Further details available on request.

Location:

Cost: £10 per night
