lads..
while this might seem to be a boring thing to do, but in the big scheme of things its very important, its not a case of let somebody else do it. Too few people are left to carry the can for all of us and if we want responsible unrestricted access to the mountains,etc then we should attend this AGM. For one thing it shows that we are a positive organised group of sensible mature individuals. Even if for some of us thats only an act, but it is very possible that one day Ranger Bob will be waiting at the bottom of the miners trail with Garda O'Sullivan. So think about it. This effects all of you, not just the people who like to organise meetings and shake hands,
The MBI will be IMBA Ireland one day soon..The in Charge people being responsible mature individuals are working hard to accomplish this, and this is a good thing, check out www.imba.com or www.imba.co.uk.
