Edinburgh University Hillwalking Club

Come along to the AGM to discuss the running of the club and elect (and/or stand for!) next year's committee. The AGM will be followed by a fantastic ceilidh, and there will also undoubtedly be plenty of cake to encourage you all to attend! Please note that you must be a fully matriculated Edinburgh University student to vote, propose/second people for positions, or be on the committee.

Due to lack of drivers we have had to cancel the upcoming daytrip to Drumochter & Blair Atholl on Sunday 21st February. We're very sorry about this, as we are aware that some people might have been counting on going on this daytrip, but after searching desperately for drivers over the last few days we just haven't got enough people to be able to run two daytrips.

Congratulations to Eva who last night, at the Sports Union ball, won an Executive Committee award for major services to the club. Eva has done a tremendous amount for the club over the last couple of years, and it is fantastic that this has been recognised by the SU. Well done Eva!!!

Thank you to everyone who attended the winter introductory daytrip to Glen Shee last weekend. Around 30 winter "beginners" had the opportunity to enjoy their first walk in winter conditions on what was a fun and sociable day. Thank you also to Roger Wild, the MCofS Student Safety officer, for taking one of the groups, and for helping to make this day such a success!

Semester 2 is about to kick off and what an epic semester it's going to be! Check the upcoming trips section to see what we've got in store for you.

If you're not a member yet, its never too late to join. Just come along to Doctors bar on Forrest Road any Tuesday evening from 8.30pm onwards and find our secretary Erik to sign up for membership. For one semester it's only £15!

Come along tonight to a talk by Roger Wild, the MCofS Safety/Training Officer for University Clubs, about Navigation Skills and other safety-related issues out on the hill. Roger has a wealth of experience of the Scottish hills and you'll definitely learn a lot of interesting stuff from him! Highly recommended!

 The talk starts at 7.30pm in Appleton Tower Room 2.12

6.30pm @ Blackwells, 52 - 63 South Bridge. Hillwalker Craig Weldon will be speaking about his new book, The Weekend Fix, a delightful tale of his walking adventures in all weathers and up and down every possible terrain, braving Welsh farmers, Knoydart rain, the terrors of the Cuillin, and the real ales of Yorkshire. Tickets are free but need to be booked in advance. More info in attached invitation.
