If there's one rule about clubs, it's that it's never as simple as you think it's going to be. There's always an unforseen problem, a situation you hadn't thought about or an unexpected piece of bureaucracy you discover you have to abide by.
In these pages we've collated a variety of advice and resources which will help both at the setting up stage and as your club develops. You can find out what you need to do to comply with data protection and equality legislation and access all important information on administration, legal and financil advice, andrequirements for insurance.
Most of what you will need can be found in this section, but if you have a query not covered here, please contact us for information at info@mountaineering.scot
