Thank you to everyone who joined us on the Peaks Trip this weekend, we hope you had a great time despite the weather!

Wednesday Meeting: We will be meeting at 1pm in County Bar for lunch and a chat, before heading down to the wall for 2pm. If you require any gear, please request it on the Facebook group in advance, or come along to the meeting.

Pancake Social: Wednesday 1st March at 7:30pm, County Main Flat 16. Come one, come all, to one very tasty evening. Pancakes and soft drinks included, PLEASE BRING £2! Bring your own booze. Anyone who wants to go into town afterwards is welcome to join some of the LUMC exec going. Please respond on the Facebook event in advance so we know numbers, or we cannot guarantee you will be fed.

Climb Kilimanjaro: Friday 3rd March. Just Play will be running an event at the sports centre, where a team of climbers will be attempting to climb the height of Kilimanjaro (5,895m) in a day. Those who participated in the Climb Everest event last year will remember the great atmosphere that day! For more information, and to book a climbing slot, please email Abby Pridmore (a.pridmore@lancaster.ac.uk).

Day Trip to The Depot, Manchester: Sunday 5th March. We'll be running a trip to The Depot, due to expected bad weather. We will be leaving campus at 9:00am from Hitchikers post, and Dalton Square in town at 9:30pm. The trip will cost £10, which should be paid on the LUSU website. If you have any questions, feel free to ask an exec member, or message in the Facebook group.
