This page details the webinars that we are running for the benefit of our members, specifically those who are running clubs and huts. The programme includes lectures, training sessions, workshops and Q&A sessions with the events running, predominantly, on a weekday evening and lasting up to a couple of hours.
For the events that have already taken place, we have provided links to the webinar recording and, where appropriate, have included downloads of presentations too.
We know that not everyone wants to join a virtual session, and so we also offer face-to-face sessions (links below). We know that many of our members enjoy the interaction that a face-to-face session brings and we don’t want to lose that.
All the sessions will take place on Zoom, are free to attend, require you to register your place to receive the Zoom link and are open to members of BMC affiliated clubs or of clubs seeking affiliation.
Wednesday 8th May, 2.30-3.30pm
