EICA, Ratho BRYCS Club Summer Break

Hi guys,
Firstly I would just like to congratulate all of the scottish kids on yet another fine display at the YCS finals this year. I think it is fair to say that the standard of climber at this years final was one of the highest ever seen. Keep up the climbing and hard work training guys!
The EICA, Ratho based BRYCS Club is breaking up for the summer and will not be starting up again until the first Saturday of October, in preperation for next years competition series. I am keen to provide advice to the kids and parents with regards to structuring their training and climbing while the club is not running. If any of you want to get in touch with me regarding this, feel free to drop me a call at EICA on 0131 333 6324 or email me on neilmcgeachy_1@hotmail.com.
Also keep an eye for future posts on this blog and the EICA, web site with regards up and coming youth climbing events such as a Fun Route Competition to celebrate the opening of our new Competition walls. There will also be some up and coming photo's and info regarding the older Scotland South kid's trip to Ceuse in July!
