As some of you know Maureen Crane had a little accident in Cwm Idwal recently. I had told her not to attempt to solo Suicide Wall that late in the day, but she wouldn’t listen.
Seriously though she tripped on the path and cut her head quite badly. The party all gathered together and got her nicely patched up, and got her down to Chris, her husband who was waiting at the car park.
On the way home they stopped at Ysbyty Clwyd where she received six stitches in a head wound. We wish her a speedy recovery.

First Aid Course .
There’s been a lot of talk recently about organizing a first aid course for club members. The committee decided that this was a good idea and Tudor Bell has agreed to run a one day course some time in the Autumn / Winter. Any members who are interested in this unmissable opportunity should contact John Parry (01766513869 ) before Sept 2, nd 2010.
Bear in mind this course will not provide you with a first aid certificate but you will gain some useful and practical knowledge about mountain and general first aid.

If you intend to come, please contact Tom Williams well beforehand on 01492 870985 or email@tomcaris.plus.com for directions etc. Contact Rob Piercy 01766 512450 or gallery@robpiercy.com in Porthmadog re shared transport. 

Caris Williams will arrange a short walk for those not wanting to go underground, and there will probably be someone who will be happy to do a longer walk on the Orme also.

Supper afterwards at the Palladium Wetherspoon's

Llew Gwent
I’m sure that all Clwb Dringo members would like to express their heart felt sympathy to Llew’s family following his tragic accident on the Cneifion Arete. Llew who was a member of Clwb Mynydda Cymru was a personal friend to many Clwb Dringo members.

Climbers
Many climbing meets are cancelled or spoilt because of the weather, therefore we are trying to arrange a more spontaneous approach by using dry weather windows. If any climber wishes to arrange a meet could they contact me at gallery@robpiercy.com. I shall then email the members to inform them of any forthcoming event.

Next Committee Meeting

The next committee meeting will be held at Bryn, Garth Road, Porthmadog on Thursday 2 nd Sept. 2010, at 7.30pm.
