Member Organised Events
Member Events Not Organised by the Club - MENOCs
The Club, its officers, Board and Alpine Team members and persons acting on behalf of the Club cannot be held liable for any loss or injury occurring to any participant while taking part in these non-Club activities.
If you wish to organise a MENOC please read the MENOC protocol.
Outside of official Club events, the Club offers members the opportunity
to advertise certain events that they organise themselves that are unofficial
events.
They are not Club events and can take many forms, from
informal gatherings in campsites to expeditions to remote areas.
Members intending to participate in these non-Club events must accept that any arrangement is between them and the organiser of the proposed event, not with AAC(UK). When such an event is arranged through, and monies paid to, a tour operator, the tour operator is the organiser, not the member initiating the event. If the event is a package within the definition of the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (PHR), AAC(UK) recommends that such an organiser should be a PHR-compliant tour operator and, if appropriate, ATOL bonded (where a UK tour operator includes air travel in the package).
Members wishing to contact other members to set up
independent activities such as hikes, rides and scrambles at short notice can also
do so through the AAC(UK)
Members Group on Facebook or on of the many regional WhatsApp groups.
Please sign in the My.Britannia for access to further booking information.

Mar 20 - 29: Svaneti Snowshoeing, Georgia.
9 nights. The Svaneti region of Georgia is unlike anywhere else in Europe - a land of fortified, mediaeval villages nestling amid pristine forests beneath the soaring peaks of the Greater Caucasus. Our expedition is based in Mestia, the largest village in Upper Svaneti, from where we will explore on snowshoes through the mountains of this magical, UNESCO-listed area. The trip will be led by AAC member and International Mountain Leader Iain Mackay.
