Booking space on a Day Walk or Weekend Meet​

 

Contact us via our site's Home page, Facebook page www.facebook.com/ForthValleyMountaineeringClub or visit us at our social evening in Linlithgow's Four Marys pub on the first Tuesday of each month from around 7.30pm.

 

The Day Walks don't require any bookings but it is advised to contact the club to indicate interest and possible attendance. Weekend Meets require to be booked. If there are spaces, then one or more meets can be booked by payment for the spaces upfront to the meet secretary or by on-line. Only when payment is received are spaces allocated by the meets secretary.

 

Allocation of spaces depends entirely on when the club receives the money or is notified by e-mail that an electronic bank payment has been made. Hut fees are non-returnable. In exceptional circumstances the chair may agree to the return of monies. If individuals cannot attend a meet that they have booked, they are expected to tell the meet secretary so that the space is made available for others.​
