Things to look out for:
Dress Your Mate Social: We are having a joint social with the Canoe Club on the 2nd of November. If you fancy coming, click attending on the Facebook event, we will then pair you up and you have the next week to pick a costume for your partner. You can spend up to £5 on it and anything inappropriate must be covered. You will then have to arrange to meet the other person to swap costumes. Meet at 7 at County Bar dressed up!!! We will go to some bars on campus and then to Sugar.
Weekend Away: We have had to push our weekend away trip back to 18th-20th November (end of week 6). We will be staying in a hut in Thirlmere for 2 nights. This will be a great weekend for some trad, bouldering, and scrambling. More details to follow soon.
Adventure Time: Wednesday Week 6 (16th November), 19:30 in County Bar. Talks include A Dummy’s Guide to Ski Touring, Cycle Touring Across Europe, and Backpacking Through Australia. More info on the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.
