University Safety & Good Practice Seminar
Safety and Good Practice Seminar for Scottish University
Mountaineering, Climbing and Hillwalking Clubs
15th & 16th November 2008 - Glenmore Lodge, Aviemore
The seminar is aimed at University Club members who might expect to be in a position of responsibility by virtue of their experience, organisational remit or committee membership. The weekend will NOT focus on introducing new or inexperienced members to climbing or hill walking, or provide much in the way of purely personal skills training.
