Centenary DVD Chapters
Continuing our digital archive we have started to add the chapters from the Centenary DVD for members to see on YouTube. I’m indebted to Ed Bramley for making the chapters available. Ed was the original compiler of the DVD tome. We have stated the ball rolling with some our Centenary events in 2009, with accompanying reports from the Journal. Centenary Dinner in Glenridding, February 2009. Dinner Report Haute Route as part of the Centenary celebrations. An account of the trip from Chamonix to the Britannia Hut. Trek Report Centenary Celebrations at the Britannia Hut near Saas Fee. The hut was built in 1912 by the club, three years after the club was founded, and donations raised. Centenary meet activities. Following on from the centenary celebrations of the ABMSAC at the Britannia hut, the focus of the celebrations then moved to Saas Almagell. As part of the celebrations, several nearby peaks were ascended, as well as a number of other interesting walks in the vicinity.
