What's in a Name?[edit]

I did in fact take a little thought before choosing to create the article under the full title, and to set up FRCC as a disambig page. There ARE several other FRCCs, which will now duly appear :-) In my limited experience people refer to it either as FRCC or as the 'Fell and Rock' - or they go straight to the full title (just because it IS so explicit, ... and doesn't presume the reader is English!) - cf National Trust.

But we'll try it Blisco's way... Bob aka Linuxlad 12:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names): "Titles should be as simple as possible without being too general." AFAIK there are no other Fell and Rock clubs, unlike National Trusts, and "Fell & Rock Climbing Club" is the name that appears on their logo and how I've always heard it referred to. The general rule is that the article title should be simple and commonly used, then the full name spelt out at the beginning: so the article Bill Clinton begins William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton.... I think "Fell & Rock Climbing Club" is the best compromise between simplicity and specificity, though "Fell & Rock Club" would also be an option. I've created redirects from nearly all the possible forms I could think of anyway.

As for FRCC and disambiguation, the only purpose of dab pages is (or rather should be) to disambiguate between existing articles that would otherwise share a title. In practice they often degenerate into a list of articles and definitions that share only a vague resemblance to the name in question (eg [1]), which is another good reason to leave it as a redirect until such time as another editor may want to create an article entitled "FRCC". --Blisco 13:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know this is long past that discussion, but it seems to me that the title should be Fell ans Rock Climbing Club, spelling out the "and". Anyone got an objection to me fixing this? --Bduke (talk) 12:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Early History[edit]

Added a few comments to give a little texture to the article. Silentrunner 02:25, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Date[edit]

My recollection is that either date is justifiable - from memory, the club was announced in late 1906 and had its first AGM in 1907...

Later, this is from FRCC site The club was founded in 1906-07 and the first informal meeting was held at the Sun Inn , Coniston on 11th November 1906 and the first General Meeting at the Wastwater Hotel on 30th March 1907. Bob aka Linuxlad 09:07, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other senior climbing clubs[edit]

Is Yorkshire Ramblers Club formed in 1892 also considered a 'senior' climbing club? Tim P (talk) 16:38, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
