What a great - and snowy - walk on Saturday! Glad you could all make it!
It's just 2 weeks until the Cadair Idris weekend to beautiful Snowdonia in north Wales (19th-21st March). Sign up for this trip will start on Tuesday 9th March (at the social) and it is anticipated to sell out...get your name down early to avoid disappointment - places are limited.
As it's now March it's that time of year when we start preparing for the AGM which will be held on Tuesday 23rd March in the SU meeting room at Civic Quarter. This is your chance to have a say in how the club is run, set the agenda for next year and most importantly VOTE IN THE NEW COMMITTEE!!! The committee is elected by the club members on an annual basis and if you're going to be in Leeds next year this is your chance to really get involved in the club. If you may be interested in putting yourself forward, this is the time to talk to this year's committee or some of the older members about what it involves and if it's for you. Your club needs you, so don't be shy!
NEXT WEEK is St Patrick's day (Wed. 17th March) and we're heading out in search of the black stuff to celebrate! Get your gladrags on, maybe an Irish themed costume and get yourself out on the town! Meet in The Met Bar at 8pm, then moving on, probably ending in Academy.
FINALLY...Although it's only March you need to start thinking about the big trips coming up in May...The Belgium trip (13th-17th May) is a fantstic 5-day trip to historical Ieper, and is like no other club trip. Full details will come nearer the time, but bear in mind that this is slightly more expensive than other club trips (probably between £120-160, depending on exchange rates and ferry prices) so you may need to start saving now! Check out the photos from previous years to get an idea of what to expect. We will also be heading to Scotland for the Spring Bank Holiday (28th-31st May), a 3-day trip to Glen Coe in the Highlands. Again, given the distance and the extra food & accommodation costs, this will be charged at a little more than the usual £40 trip cost, so again, time to start saving now as this is one of the highlights of the year!
P.S. If anyone has any club photos to share please contact the committee so that we can get them on the website - this year's photo pages are a little bare!
