 TAC 60: New climbs, old habits: The Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal 2003
On the one hand, it is a club journal speaking to a restricted audience, as replete with insider references as a Nigel Dempster column.
Hinde was the erstwhile master of the Scottish mountain accident pages in the SMCJ, a responsibility which he shouldered with obvious dedication and no little élan.
Supporters (ie contributors) would argue that it is the epitome of the journal as recorder of the progress of mountaineering in Scotland; detractors allege that New Climbs is basically vanity publishing, and that many of the reports are less than significant in the scheme of things.

 MCofS; Scottish Womens Climbing Meet
It was a subsidised meet, at a time when the pre-eminent club in Scotland, the Scottish Mountaineering Club, did not accept proposals for membership from women climbers, although other clubs did exist for women climbers such as The Ladies Scottish Climbing Club and The Pinnacle Club (based in England).
Some of the younger members of the Ladies Scottish Climbing Club were part of the first meet, and it's success is indicated by the fact that it has continued independent of the MCofS ever since, now acting as a network of women climbing contacts.
The Club’s ethos is based on getting out, climbing competently and enjoying yourself at your chosen grade, and is not about how hard you climb, or what sort of climbing you do.

 Jacobites Mountaineering Club Newsletter
Sources in the SMC assure me that there is no truth in the rumour, that book-sales from the last revision of the Munros funded it.
The long June days should be good for getting to the remoter mountains in the area, and hopefully some sunshine will have dried out the rock on Diabeag, and Applecross etc. Note that this is no longer a work meet, as previously advertised.
With the most challenging mountaineering in Britain right on the doorstep, and a hut to keep out the midges, this is a meet with great potential.

 Scotsman.com Heritage & Culture - Great Scots - The man who bagged mountains   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Sir Hugh Thomas Munro, co-founder of the Scottish Mountaineering Club and the first to measure and categorise all of Scotland's 284 peaks over 3,000ft, now named "Munros" in his honour, was also a war hero, traveller, political activist and adventurer.
More important to his legend, he also co-founded the Scottish Mountaineering Club (SMC) in 1889, taking "the liveliest interest" in doling out "racy comments" at its meetings, according to an obituary published in the club's journal, to which he was a regular contributor.
His tabulation of the mountains standing 3,000ft or higher first appeared in an SMC journal in 1891, but it seems that he did not scale all of the peaks he categorised.
