FAQs
Who is a Climbridge Member?
Climbridge members are those who have paid their club membership fee, and have received a confirmation email about their membership application.
Being a member lets you participate in activities away from Rainbow Rocket, and grants you all sorts of privileges and protections through the included BMC membership.
How do I become a member?
Simply go to this page to fill out the new member form. Membership cost is £30 a year and covers BMC membership for yourself as well as some running costs for the club (website running and maintenance, gear etc).
Note: The cost of BMC membership lowers if joining after the 1st of July each year.
What roped climbing gyms do you go to?
We typically visit Big Rock Bond in Milton Keynes and The Castle in London. Although we are always looking to visit more and suggestions are always welcome!
There’s a WhatsApp? What are WhatsApp communities? What are all these groups?
We’ve decided to create a WhatsApp community for Climbridge, this is a place to receive announcements, and arrange spontaneous climbing and social gatherings. This is also a great place to ask questions. To join the community, fill in the form here.
“Climbridge Common” is the most inclusive group, members and non-members are all allowed in this group. If you are joining us at Rainbow Rocket for the first time, or you are not a member, this is likely the only group you have access to.
“Climbridge Members” is the group which includes official climbridge members. (You do not have to be a member to join us at Rainbow Rocket)
“Climbridge Committee” is for the private discussions of the Management Committee. Check out the about us page, and read the constitution to read about how the management committee operates.
How does Climbridge Membership differ from BMC Membership?
Climbridge membership is a necessary requirement to participating in most Climbridge activities. (Not including regular Rainbow Rocket sessions).
By becoming a Climbridge member, we automatically enrol you in the BMC, this gives you (the Member) and us (the Club) all sorts of benefits and protections.
Do I need to become a member of Climbridge to participate in weekly Rainbow Rocket sessions?
No! Rainbow rocket sessions can be attended by anyone, and are a great way to meet some of your potential prospective club members!
Strictly speaking, these Rainbow Rocket sessions are not “Club Meets”, they are simply occasions when many members and members of the Management Committee will be there.
