About Us

The committee

Leah Jefferis

(they/she)

- Secretary -

Hi all, I'm Leah, and I'm your secretary again! I've enjoyed every mountain I've climbed with UMWC over the past 2 years, and look forward to each new one! You can often find me in the pub or wandering in the mountains on Saturdays. I hope you enjoy your time with us, and you can find me through the club emails at umwc@undebbangor.com

Secretaries are the ones keeping the club informed about the what, where and how… And very occasionally The Who.

Joshua Perrottet

(he/him)

- Captain-

Hi, I’m Josh and I'm this year's captain. While I've always enjoyed the great outdoors, my love of the mountains came more recently when I discovered this club. Since my first mountain as a fresher I've been unable to stop, and I'm excited to introduce new people to the fun this year. If anyone has any questions, requests, issues, or just wants to chat about hiking feel free to send me an email at jsp23rnx@bangor.ac.uk or find me at any of our socials

Captains are the people who make sure stuff happens.

Christopher Eccles

(they/he/him)

- Vice Captain -

My name is Christopher and I'm an Ambler, Rambler, and sometimes Dangler. I’ve been wandering about the Welsh hills with me grandad as soon as I could toddle. Since moving to Bangor I've busied myself getting out and about - short, long, easy or hard, I'm not picky about my walking as long as it doesn't involve my fear of heights

Vice captains are the coordinators of the committee with half of their job being to make sure the Captain doesn’t cry.

Lauren Ellison

(she/her)

- Treasurer & wellbeing and inclusivity officer -

Hi all, I’m Lauren, the Treasurer and Wellbeing & Inclusivity officer for the club! I’ve loved the outdoors my whole life, but only climbed my first mountain with the club last year. I look forward to seeing you in the mountains enjoying the outdoors! Feel free to email me at lrl23fsn@bangor.ac.uk for any wellbeing or inclusivity queries or concerns.

Treasures are the money people who ensure that the club can be kept up and running. And will hunt you down if you don’t pay coach money.

Lauren is also our very first wellbeing and inclusivity officer, that means she's the one to talk to about any issues or accessibility questions

Cerys Brown

(she/they)

- Social Secretary -

Hi, I’m Cerys and I am probably the most unqualified person for this role... I'm antisocial and don't do mountain walking! Anyways, here's a photo of me and some sheep in the Lake District 🙂

Social secs make the non walkey stuff happen. Hit the social sec up if you want a Harp discount card.

Joseph Cross

(he/him)

- Gear & Safety Officer -

Hi I’m Joe (he/him), I’m the gear and safety officer this year. I enjoy hiking and am up to doing stupid things for fun. My email is jsc23lln@bangor.ac.uk if you have any gear questions.

Joe knows a thing or two about gear and safety and loves to share knowledge so he is the person to ask if you want to know about equipment, maps and training for the club .

Club Structure

Leadership

Committee Members - Elected by members at the clubs AGM the committee administrate the club. This involves organising all events, managing funds and social media, and otherwise keeping the club alive.

Senior Leader - Senior Leaders are confident experienced members of the club who are tasked with leading groups of all abilities on walks.

Leader - Leaders are senior members of the club who assist first leaders in leading groups and lead hill and lowland groups.

Members - Everyone is a member, while they have no responsibility to lead, all members are expected to assist in keeping activities safe and sensible.

Training

Leader training is run several times throughout the academic year, typically on Friday evenings alongside route planning. The training is open to anyone who is interested, and we highly encourage members to attend. The content of the training is derived from the Mountain Leader qualification. Those wishing to become leaders must attend all three sessions and then get the chance to lead an assessment walk one of the senior leaders.

First aid training is also organised annually giving all members the chance to acquire an REC Level 2 qualification. Priority is given to new walk leaders. This is the recommend qualification for any looking to work in the outdoors.
