Published as a supplement to Volume II of the Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal, 1894.
The objects of the Club shall be:- To encourage mountaineering in Scotland in winter as well as summer; to serve as a bond of union amongst all lovers of mountain climbing; to create facilities for exploring the less known parts of the country; to collect various kinds of information, especially as regards routes, distances, means of access, time occupied in ascents, character of rocks, extent of snow in winter, &c., and in general to promote everything that will conduce to the convenience of those who take a pleasure in mountains and mountain scenery.
The members of the Club shall respect proprietary and sporting rights, and endeavour to obtain the co-operation of proprietors.
The Annual General Meeting for the election of office-bearers and the transaction of all other business connected with the Club, shall be held alternately in Edinburgh and Glasgow on one day - preferably a Friday -between the 10th and 22nd December inclusive. The Annual Dinner shall take place on the day of the Annual General Meeting.
Every candidate for admission to the Club must forward to the Secretary (on a special form to be obtained from him), at least one month before the Annual General Meeting in December (or any other General Meeting), a list of his Scottish ascents, stating the month and year in which each ascent was made, or a statement of his contributions to science, art, or literature in connection with Scottish mountains. Such list or statement must be signed by the candidate, and by two members of the Club acting as proposer and seconder. If, in the opinion of the Committee, the qualifications are deemed sufficient, the name, designation, and address of the candidate, along with the names of his proposer and seconder, shall he sent by post to each member at least one week before the day of balloting.
[Members of the Alpine Club are eligible for election without further qualification; and gentlemen who have made ascents or given valuable contributions as above, elsewhere than in Scotland, may be recommended for election at the discretion of the Committee.]
At the Annual General Meeting, elections shall take place of those whose qualifications for membership have received the approval of the Committee. Not less than eight balls must be deposited for the election of any candidate, and one black ball in eight shall reject for one year. Elections can also take place at any General Meeting of the Club; provided that the various conditions stated as required for election at the Annual General Meeting are complied with.
The entrance fee shall be one guinea, payable at the time of election; and the newly-elected member shall not be admitted to the privileges of the Club until such fee, and the first annual subscription, are paid. The annual subscription shall be half-a-guinea, due on the first of January.
The Club-Room shall be a centre for collecting the various kinds of information - whether topographical, geological, or botanical - which members in their sundry expeditions may be able to give.
The Club-Room for the time being will be at the offices of the Honorary Librarian, Mr GILBERT THOMSON, 75 Bath Street, Glasgow, who has very kindly placed a room at the disposal of the Club until permanent quarters can be secured.
