reminded that everyone was to be in possession of an El 11 in order that they had cover for treatment in France or Italy. In the event there was one major injury on JSAM 95 that required med­ ical treatment; the Meet Leader received a 3 inch crampon wound on his thigh.
Third Party Liability Insurance. It was also necessary to be insured for third party risks. For those who are fully paid up members of the RN&RMMC there was some cover provided for mountaineering related activities as a consequence of being affil­ iated to the BMC. The BMC provide worldwide Civil Liability cover up to £2M for all affiliated members with no excess.
Reciprocal Rights Cards. Reciprocal Rights Cards are issued by the BMC and entitle members of mountaineering clubs affiliated to the BMC to discounted rates in many alpine huts. The card is of limited use in Switzerland but on balance was just about worth it.
Kit and Equipment. Selection of equipment is a matter of per­ sonal preference and is dependent on the choice of routes. Personnel were responsible for providing all the equipment that they needed. No equipment was available at the meet.
Conclusion. The Central Pennine Alps is an excellent climbing area with much to offer both the novice and the experienced alpinist. The well organised hut system and railway / chairlifts ensure that the climber can get close to all but 2 of the magnifi­ cent 4000m peaks in the area. However, the cost is not cheap and maximum advantage must be taken on each outing to get the best value for money. It is considered that JSAM 95 was a success.

Weather. The weather naturally played a major part in deter­ mining what could be accomplished. JSAM 95 enjoyed good weather and bad weather only prevented climbing on 2 days.
Medical Insurance IE 111. In accordance with DCI (JS) 56/94 recommendations all personnel were advised that they must be insured for personal accident. PAX Plus was recommended to all attendees as it has the advantage of not requiring a medical and being effective from the date of completion of the form. All were
