Expedition Fund Recipients
Each year the Club supports overseas expeditions with grants from the Expedition Fund. As part of the conditions of such grants, climbers are required to be available to give talks to section evenings, and generally are very keen to do so. Simply check out the Fund History page for something that you like the sound of and email Margaret to get their current contact details.
