Our first event for the year is a special event – a combined General Meeting at Mont Adventure Equipment and an opportunity to hear from Andy King representing DMM and Edelrid.

The evening will kick off with a short session by the CCA Vice-President, Brian Mattick, who will outline issues and events that the CCA is currently engaged in such as cliff access, bolting and cliff-care at Booroomba Rocks. After the information session, there will be an opportunity for members and guests to socialise and buy any gear. Mont will be doing a one-night-only super-duper specials on selected DMM hardware and Edelrid ‘biners.

The information session will be followed by our guest speaker presentation, given tonight by Andy King.

Mont will be giving away a lucky-door-prize of a 60m Edelrid Taipan rope valued at $279.95. The Taipan is a great ecological choice because it is made of high-quality left-over yarns from other productions.

All welcome. Please bring along family and friends. You will be able to join the CCA on the night ($20 per year or $50 for three years) if you want to take advantage of your CCA special 20% discount on Mont gear.
