We're just back from an absolutely fabulous weekend in Belgium. 11 of the 15 members on the trip completed the 100km and everyone had a great time - despite the blisters! For those of you who didn't go, PLEASE SPONSOR CATH! Cath has used the trip to raise valuable funds for the Great North Air Ambulance and battled monster blisters and knee pain to do so! Please help support this cause by making your donation via her Just Giving website. Go on, be generous - you never know when one of us walkers might need their help...

Photos and blogs coming very soon. For a preview see Facebook, otherwise watch this space - there're some great pics!

CONGRATULATIONS to the Walking Club for winning the award for the best club (or something like that!) at Tuesday night's Student Participation Awards. The RAG society also deserves a mention for being the best new society, as it's run by our very own Becky and Cath (have you sponsored her yet?!). It was a good evening for those involved and all who have helped make 2007/08 such a great year for the club received the appreciation they deserved. Thanks guys!

Walk a little faster! (otherwise known as running!) On Saturday 10th May, the uni is holding the Great Student Run, and a load of club members will be taking part. Whether you're taking part or not, why not meet up on the Acre after the event, maybe go for lunch/drinks somewhere afterwards? Hope to see you there!

The next day walk is on Saturday 17th May to Marsden. This is going to be a fantastic walk so get the date in your diary now! The meeting place will be Leeds station first thing in the morning (time t.b.a.), however this walk also has a weekend camping option! If you want to camp Friday and/or Saturday night, you will need your own gear and transport - although some car-pooling and tent-sharing is possible, register your interest with the committee. Make your own way to Marsden on Friday; the camp site is the carpark of the Carriage House pub on the moor above the village. We'll meet in the pub for food, drinks and maybe a night-hike. It'll be an early start to get down to the village in time for a fry-up, before meeting the day-walkers from the train. The day walk will be taking in a brand new route - so older members make sure you come along and check it out! After a well deserved stop at the Riverhead Brewery it'll be back to the camp for more drinks and maybe more hiking or karaoke...who knows! Sunday pack up camp at leisure and see what happens. No need to decide right now, but get it in your diary anyway - it'll be a great weekend!

FINALLY: The Scotland trip (23rd-26th May) is fully booked. If you haven't paid yet, make sure you bring your cash (£65) to the next Arcadia night to guarantee your place, or contact the committee to make alternative payment arrangements. Full trip arrangements to follow soon.

Next Event: Great Student Run - 10th May 2008 Not strictly a club event, however a number of members will be taking part in the run. It all kicks off at 10am, so we should be done by around 11am. Anyone taking part, why not all meet up on the Acre after the event, maybe go for a beer or lunch somewhere? Also, please wear your club t-shirt for the event!
