More exciting news !!!

Alright

Right, firstly I hope everyone enjoyed the old bouldering party last night, I know I certainly did a bit too much.

So firstly first aid courses, these are run by the bloke who runs them for Plas Y Brenin so they are the best courses of their type in the country. They are based around actuall first aid with stuff like sticks and gaffer tape, so its brilliant relavent training. The certificate lasts for 3 years.

Here's the website of the bloke for more information: www.extremecare.co.uk
The courses are 21st-22nd Nov, 5th Dec - Mountain first aid (£100 pp - Deposit £30) 3 day certificated emergency care course for anyone getting out into the hills. The first weekend will, again, be based at the university and the third day (a Saturday) will be on location so bring your warm clothes! this is a brilliant price as to do the same course run by the same bloke would normally cost 225 quid. Anyone intrested get hold of me ( Nichols ) the deposits need to be in by next Friday at the latest.

Secondly 20% Discount Night!!
Next Thursday, 15th October, 5pm to 8pm we've got a 20% discount gear night at Cotswold Outdoor's brand new shop in the city centre, there will be free boot fitting. This is a good shop for general outdoors clothes. However if you are waiting to buy harnesses, shoes, equipment etc you will probably be better off waiting for the mountain intelligence sales night which is on Thursday the 22nd from 6pm to 8pm.

Thirdly - for all those on the trip this Sunday to Birchen meet outside the union on the steps at 9am. we should be going for a curry at the Nazams (cue music) in the evening after.

See you there

Tom
