CCA contact list
The CCA contact list (which is not publicly available) has the names and details of all members who want other members to be able to contact them to arrange climbing trips. The option to join the contact list is provided when members either join CCA initially or renew their membership.
The contact list works as follows:
- You email with “Message for CCA Contact List” as the Subject Line, and a message you want sent to everyone on the list; maybe like “Hi, anyone want to climb [sport/trad] with me at grades A-B at crag C in coming months? You can reach me at [email and/or phone]. Cheers, [your full name]”.
- Within a month (maybe faster, but no promises), the Membership Secretary will forward your message, bcc’d so no-one sees other people’s addresses, to everyone on the list.
Note: Because of the delay in sending out messages, the contact list cannot be used to find a climbing partner for the coming weekend! Whether and how anyone responds to you is up to them.
