Our AGM was held on 26/03/24. The annual FVMC membership fee was confirmed at £25 and the minimum cost of weekend meets at £30. If booking costs of particular meets are higher than £30 per individual then the actual cost will be payable by members attending.
The committee now comprises: Chair, Archie Robertson; Secretary, Alan Rodger; Meet Secretary, Allan Scott; Treasurer, Paul Birrell; Facebook/Web Administrator, Brian Ross (temporary); Ordinary Members, Malcolm Moncrieff, Marian McEwan, Gordon Blake, Liz Acheson.
Club Social Evening
We meet socially on the first Tuesday of the month at The Four Marys in Linlithgow at around 7.30pm, however due to the busy nature of January our first meeting will be in February 2025. The pub is easily found in the centre of the town's High Street.
If you want to find out more about the club and how it could fit with your ambitions and plans for hill activity then the club's social evening is a great opportunity to get to know us. Also you may wish to send us a message via Facebook on https://www.facebook.com/ ForthValleyMountaineeringClub.
