What the club does and what membership is all about

To find out what nights the club are currently meeting, please see the programme page. The summer programme is scheduled out based on the tides and daylight hours, while in winter we meet at either the ‘Help a Guernsey Child’ wall at the Scout headquarters at Rue Mainguy or the Wooden Spoon wall at St Sampsons High School. Indoor evenings start at 7pm and finish around 9pm, outdoor climbing starts at 6pm and finishes when it gets dark or the tide comes in!

Membership fees

Currently set at £35 per year for adults, £24 per year for juniors (under 18) and £26 per year for students which covers affiliation to the BMC and club funds for equipment/training. Subscriptions for membership commencing after 30th June are half price. An additional charge of £7.00 is added for sessions at Baubigny Schools as we have to pay them for use of their walls.

Please find below the GMC constitution and membership forms for download:

Restrictions

The minimum age is 16, and parental permission is needed for members under 18. The club will only take on novices in the winter as it’s easier and safer to teach them all the skills they need indoors before getting onto the crags. If you are a novice please contact one of the club committee members first before turning up. If you are a proficient belayer (double ropes, italian hitch etc.), can abseil, stop and ascend your own rope with prussiks then you are quite welcome to join at any time.
