Expedition Fund

The following guidelines for applications are intended for use by the elected committee or by the applicant:

Introduction

The Expedition Fund is money which the Club has set aside for the promotion of mountaineering. The word "Expedition" is seen here to mean a major mountaineering undertaking that probably takes place beyond the borders of the country. The Club sees mountaineering in it's broader context, as comprising either of hiking, sport-climbing, competition-climbing, traditional rock-climbing, snow and ice climbing and Alpine climbing or any combination of the above.

When considering applications the Committee will look for the following points:

• The proposed Expedition has the potential to have significance in local mountaineering.
• The Expedition has the potential to bring credit to the Club.
• The applicant/s shows previous experience or potential in the particular area.
• The Expedition has a training/experience gaining element to it.
• The applicant/s present financial position will be considered.

Rules for Application:

• Applicant/s must be members of the Club. (This includes Associate members and Family members.)
• All annual subscription fees (if applicable) must be up to date.
• Only well presented, written applications, that consist of a motivational letter and a comprehensive Curriculum Vitae, will be considered. These must be addressed to The President.
• The Committees decision on the application will be final and binding.
• Applicant/s may apply for funding any number of times as long as they are for separate expeditions.
• The Committee may, at its discretion, insist on any other criteria before funding is granted. The aim of these criteria should not be to hamper the application but rather to ensure that the Club gains feedback and benefit from the applicant/s.
