Southern Sandstone Weekend:  10th and 11th September, 2016
 
Although some members living in London and the south-east no doubt regularly experience the delights of southern sandstone, the Club does not usually hold a climbing meet in the area.  However, the Committee are due to hold their next meeting in Crowborough on 10th September so some members will be climbing on the most famous of sandstone outcrops over the weekend.  Please do join us.
