Hello all,
The coming May bank holiday weekend is drawing ever closer and this happily means that our yearly trip down to the sea cliffs of pembroke is near; I hope you are all incomprehensibly psyched for it. Let me first of all say that the pembroke skills session was held today and under the marvellous tuition of your safety sec Franco and his assisstant Matt Roper (who gave up valuable dogging time to attend) it was a successful afternoon chilling out in the park watching each other battling up ropes and I hope that everyone who attended now feels confident in their abseiling and prussiking techniques which will be of great use on this meet.
Now on to the particulars of the trip.
Buses- There will be 3 buses departing from OP on Friday afternoon/evening, attempts are being made to have an early bus leaving some time in the afternoon (though this is not definite as of yet), there will be a bus departing at 6:30pm and if there is sufficient requirement a late bus will be leaving at around 7:30pm.
Camping- We will be taking up our usual accomodation in a campsite/field in pembroke so tents are a necessity, please try and bring your own/arrange to share with someone else with a tent but if that is not possible please let me know by Tuesday 27th that you will be needing space in a club tent. Other items to bring are sleeping bags, roll mats if possible, a pillow if you wish, a portable stove if you plan to cook food and a head torches is a sensible thing to bring. The campsite has toilets nearby but no showers so I hope you enjoy the bodily odours of your fellow MUMC members.
Food- Buses will be stopping for fish and chips on the Friday night trip down and the Monday return journey and on the Saturday night the social secretaries will be arranging a BBQ for everyone. You will however need to sort your own breakfasts, lunches and one nights tea (that is tea the meal not the drink, learn the ways of the north). You may also wish to bring booze.
Price- All this can be yours for the very reasonable sum of £15 and that is to be paid to me by Thursday 29th at the latest, I will be at the pub tomorrow, the wall next Wednesday and the pub next Thursday. If you haven’t paid up by next Thursday you risk losing your place.
So e-mail me if you wish to go including the following bits of information: your name; whether you want the early, regular or late bus;whether you will be requiring a vegetarian option at the BBQ and whether you require the use of any club gear e.g helmets, harnesses. As I say you have until next Tuesday to send me a further e-mail about tents.
Yours in psychedness
Mike
