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!
Becoming a MemberSymposia
Below is a list of Alpine Club Symposia.
Organised by members of The Alpine Club, events focus 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, as well as 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!

Late summer Lakes meet at the George Starkey Hut, Patterdale, Lake District
This meet is open to all members and their guests to meet up at our Club Hut in Patterdale and enjoy the surrounding crags and fells. On Saturday evening we will have a "pot luck supper" so please bring either a main course or dessert to share with others. After dinner we will have an informal slide show so please bring a memory stick with a maximum of twenty pictures of your recent activities in the mountains.
Other than the Saturday evening meal, you need to supply your own food. This is always a very popular meet so early booking for hut accommodation is strongly advised.
