Anyway we have a very busy semester lined up, with something to do for everyone. Trips every weekend, 2 international trips, lots of training available some major charity events that we will be looking for everyones support in and of course our good ol' social get togethers. More details on those in the e-mail :-P

CLUB INFO NIGHT AND NIGHT OUT
Guys this is a date for the Diary Thursday wk 2 our club night out not to be missed. This is going to take place in room P1001 in the PESS building (if your not sure where that is, just make your way to the PESS building and we'll have people stationed to show you). If you want the essential information for this semester you have to come here, you'll learn about our activities not to mention the international trips we will have on offer :-) Last semester we had 100+ people attend this and then 100+ people follow us into town for one hell of a night out.
If you'll learn anything about/from us aside from the outdoors it is that we know how to give you guys a good time on a night out. Details of where we are going are yet to be finalised, but rest assured, there will be drinks offers, free bus into the city and possibly discount entry into the club we go to ;-)
So guys, DO NOT MISS THIS!
