BCMC SOCIAL EVENT - May 12th, 2026
Informal Gear Swap
and
Backwater Corners of the Coast Mountains
by Glenn Woodsworth
Join us at the ANZA club May 12th for next BCMC club social! Doors will open at 7 for an informal gear swap, followed by our guest speaker Glenn Woodsworth. His presentation is entitled: Backwater Corners of the Coast Mountains
Glenn Woodsworth has been exploring the lesser known parts of the Coast Mountains for over 60 years, sometimes on his own and sometimes with legends like Dick Culbert. In this talk he will show photos from areas including the Seven Sisters, the Howson Range, and, closer to home, the Raleigh-Gilbert area. Although far less visited than the Waddington or Ape Lake areas, these regions have quiet charms of their own that are well worth visiting.
Location: The Anza Club, #3, West 8th Ave., Vancouver | 19+ | Doors Open: 7:00 PM, Event Starts: 7.30 PM
