Chairman: Chris Jones
I started climbing at Harrisons Rocks - and still carried on! Have spent much time on crags, cliffs and mountains since then, having many great experiences with numerous friends. A trad climber though to the last bowline, I am probably responsible for a lot of the polish on Derbyshire limestone. Have been a member of the CMC for 25 years and been part of the committee for 7 years, now delighted to be chairman of this great traditional yet approachable club.
Secretary: Toni Wintin
Live for the mountains - been mountaineering in various forms since the age of six - prefer the beauty, wildness and solitude of a mountain to a roadside crag. Also enjoy camping, beering and friending! When not up a mountain (or being dragged up a cliff) will be found either reading in bed (with cup of tea & chocolate) or cycling somewhere (not too hilly) or even at work!
Treasurer: Mo Macguire
I am the Scottish Mo, hailing from Glasgow and a city boy at heart. Now living and climbing in Derbyshire, and been a climber for only 12 years now. Here I am holding up the rock so that others can pass. A bit like doing the Treasurers job I feel! As well as getting onto rocks occasionally I also cycle to work and enjoy getting on my road bike for short Peak rides. Next year I am doing a fundraiser for a colleague who runs a voluntary project for young people getting them into music. Join me if you like!
Hut Booking Secretary: Lix Buxton
I've been a member of the CMC for over 40 years & the Hut Booking Secretary for longer than I care to remember. I started climbing while still at school but soon changed to hill walking and have been doing it ever since. I joined the CMC when I started going out with Alan and 40 plus years later I'm still here. The club, the friendships I've made and the hut in Wales have been an important part of my social life.
Hut Custodian: Alan Buxton
I am a founder member of the CMC and have been the Hut Custodian since the mid '80's and a Trustee of the hut. Having been cycling, caving, and climbing in my early life I have now settled down to enjoying all aspects of walking in many areas. I have enjoyed my outdoor life and the atmosphere of the CMC, and hope to continue doing so for some time yet.
Meets: Graham Robinson
Chris, why did you pick that photo of me at Willersley? What's wrong with me on Flying Buttress Direct or Debauchery? Oh yeah, I've only climbed those in my dreams!!! I have trouble deciding what I dislike most - polished limestone or gritstone cracks - and with my years of experience in the crags and mountains should really have achieved much more. The most impressive achievement to date is my lengthy "to do list"!
Matt Herrick
I've been in the Clogwyn a few years and as you can see my ropework's brilliant! Trad climbing on sea cliffs is the way forward. I'm also keen on multi-pitch in the mountains, particularly on a mountain bike. I joined the committee in 2010 and do my best to disrupt meetings...
Chris Foster
I have been in the Clogwyn about 4 years and initially developed my trad, which has currently taken a back seat. In the summer I can be usually be found at Cheedale doing sports routes and in the winter bouldering on grit.
