Sorry for the slight delay in the weekly email, I have only just managed =

-----------------------------------------------------------------
1) UBES Navigation Training Day (Sunday 18th)
We will be running a one day navigation and group leadership course on =
Sunday 18th February for anyone interested in learning how to navigate =
on the hills or lead groups. The course is EXTREMELY practical based and =
mostly spent in the Brecon Beacons teaching you skills to build upon =
your previous experience. This could include: basic nav, map work, =
contours, timings, pacings, group leadership skills, emergency =
situations, difficult terrain, managing people, route planning & =
finding, kit, weather, logbooks, getting lost etc etc=85 You will be =
taught by experienced and qualified mountain leaders from within UBES. =
The day runs from 9:30am until late at night including a night-nav =
exercise after a hearty evening meal and classroom session.=20
Total cost, just =A320. You even get a certificate at the end! We run =
the course on a maximum 4:1 ratio so there are just 16 places!=20
Signup on WEDNESDAY 7th (this week) @ 1PM outside the UBU Info Point.
This course is specifically designed for UBES to both train our future =
group leaders and to allow people of any ability to spend a day learning =
nav & group leadership skills from someone more experienced.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
2) Paintballing (Saturday 17th)
Want a chance to shoot your favourite member of the committee and have a =
super fun day out? Look no further. A week on Saturday we will be =
heading to the nearby forests for a different type of outdoor adventure, =
Paintball. For only =A310 UBES can get you entry for the full day and =
100 free paintballs (You will probably need to buy some more there). It =
will be a full day leaving at 8ish and getting back by 5. You will also =
need to chip in for transport there but so long as there are a few =
drivers it shouldn't be more than a few pounds. On Wednesday at 1pm =
outside the UBU Info Point you will need to bring =A310 deposit to pay =
for the day and sign up. If you can't make it email Ellie on =
ew0596@bristol.ac.uk.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
3) Summer Expeditions and Training Subsidies Talk - 8pm THIS WEDNESDAY
THIS WEDNESDAY at 8pm in The Clifton (located here =
http://tinyurl.com/7x69oeg) at 8pm we have our summer trips and =
subsidies talk. I know it seems super weird to be thinking about summer =
already but it is much more fun than thinking about work and we need to =
get planning! Last summer we went off to Spain and Sweden during the =
summer so come along to find out what exiting plans the expeditions =
officers have planned for this summer and I assure you they are pretty =
exciting. We will also be letting you know about some of the training =
courses that we can provide subsidies for and how to apply for them so =
make sure you turn up to hear all about it!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
4) UBESwear
Please see the email that was sent around yesterday for details about =
how to order your UBESwear. Just make sure you head over on Wednesday to =
secure your stash!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
5) UBU AGM
It's the Union Annual AGM this Thursday! Everyone gets the afternoon off =
Uni so there is no excuse not to come and there are quite a few issues =
that affect what the Union will do and can affect societies like us! =
Quite a lot of the committee will be going and will be be splitting our =
time between Bar 100 and the AGM so should be a lot of fun.=20
-----------------------------------------------------------------
6) ADVANCE WARNING - Oceana Social NEXT MONDAY
Next Monday we will be heading off to Oceana for a night of fun filled =
cheesy music! Regardless of what the Freshers say Oceana is by far the =
best Monday night out in Bristol and with a light up, flashing dance =
floor who can say no! There is also talk of a Hooters =
All-You-Can-Eat-Wings session before but there will be another email =
later on this week to confirm. Just make sure you keep the evening free =
and, if you are anything like me, write off Tuesday morning!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
7) Pub and Climbing
We will be heading back to UCR this week as usual. Meet at 1pm outside =
the UBU Info Point and then we will head down.
This Wednesday we will be going to THE CLIFTON for the summer trips and =
subsidies talks so don't go to the vaults! We will probably head to Bar =
100 in the Union after the talks for some cheap, cheap drinking!
------------------------------------------------------
See you soon and since Valentines day is coming up you should take a =
look at this, http://youtu.be/XzyvLf0V3qs, about how not to do it!

Point at 1pm everyday this week (Tuesday-Friday) or at the Highbury =
Vaults on Wednesday evening. Feel free to bring flatmates/friends/plus =
ones/friends with benefits.=20
-----------------------------------------------------------------
2) Snowdonia Backpacking
So in a week and a half (11-12th Feb) we'll be venturing out into the =
wilds with nothing but grit, determination and electrolytes for a full =
weekend of wintry fun (and tents/food/alcohol etc, but shh...). =
Depending on the weather we could be camping in the snow! Woop! We will =
be leaving as usual on Friday evening and getting back on the Sunday =
evening and camping for both nights, although the first night will be in =
a campsite. You will need normal kit for a UBES Kit but decent boots, =
sleeping bag and a roll mat are a must! Signup will be this Wednesday at =

again although indoor hockey has also been suggested. if you are vaguely =
interested in getting involved in this then drop Cat and email on =
co8242@bristol.ac.uk. PS. It doesn't matter how rubbish/good you are, =

this form (http://bit.ly/xhNhMJ). Please only record Lakes that fall =
within the rules!! Anyone trying to slip in any lakes that do not fulfil =

bag the Victoria Rooms Fountains at 9am on a day of my choosing!!! You =
have been warned!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
4) UBES Volunteering and Helping
We are looking at getting involved with some volunteering in schools and =
youth groups. It won't require a regular commitment and should be pretty =
good fun. If you are interested drop me an email on =
ms9464@bristol.ac.uk.
The committee/esteemed run most of the trips throughout the year but =
this is YOUR chance to get involved. If you fancy running a trip with a =
member of the committee then we are looking for people to help run the =
Yorkshire 3 Peaks and Cader Idris Trips this term. It doesn't require =
too much work just a bit of preparation before the trip such as ordering =
the food and then helping out on the trip. This looks great on your CV =
and could help you decide if you want to get more involved with the =
society next year (Hint, Hint be on the Committee)!! If you are =
interested drop me an email.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
5) Pub and Climbing
We will be heading back to UCR this week as usual. Meet at 1pm outside =
the UBU Info Point and then we will head down.
HIGHBURY VAULTS as usual for the pub on Wednesday!! We will be there =
from 9pm-ish and will probably be in the garden at the back so come =
along and join us for a chat and a pint and find out which committee =
member drank a bit too much in the Lake District and couldn't handle the =
car drive to the walk on the Sunday without a slightly less than =
tactical TC!
------------------------------------------------------
See you on Friday, if not before, and after all the snow in the Lake =
District last weekend you might want to be thankful that at least you =
didn't do this http://youtu.be/heSwlKEh3KU!

the trips throughout the year but this is YOUR chance to get involved. =
If you fancy running a trip with a member of the committee then we are =
looking for people to help run the Yorkshire 3 Peaks and Cader Idris =
Trips this term. It doesn't require too much work just a bit of =
preparation before the trip such as ordering the food and then helping =
out on the trip. This looks great on your CV and could help you decide =
if you want to get more involved with the society next year (Hint, Hint =
be on the Committee)!! If you are interested drop me an =
email.

5) Pub =

back to UCR this week as usual. Meet at 1pm outside the UBU Info Point =
and then we will head down.

HIGHBURY VAULTS as usual =
for the pub on Wednesday!! We will be there from 9pm-ish and will =
probably be in the garden at the back so come along and join us for a =
chat and a pint and find out which committee member drank a bit too much =
in the Lake District and couldn't handle the car drive to the walk on =
the Sunday without a slightly less than tactical TC!


------------------------------------------------------


See you on Friday, if not before, and after all the snow in the =
Lake District last weekend you might want to be thankful that at least =

20% off everything instore.
No matter whether you're just starting out, in need of an upgrade, or =
simply after a new piece of kit, this is the place to go. Their range of =
gear covers both walking and climbing equipment, so whatever it is that =
you need you can be sure that you'll find it here. If you're a beginner =
in the outdoors, then kit such as boots and waterproofs may be of =
interest to you. The shop staff know their stuff better than the back of =
their own hands, and if you're unsure about exactly what you need then =
they'll be more than happy to help. It will be particularly useful if =
you are coming to Scotland over New Year and want to pick up some shiny =
new gear to take with you.
WHERE: Meet outside the UBU Info Point on Tyndall Avenue
WHEN: 5pm - Monday (28/11/11)

head down there yourself. The shop have their late night on Thursdays, =
and will be open until 8pm.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
2) MENTAL MENDIPS SIGNUP (Wednesday)
Loads of you signed up to MENTAL MENDIPS last week and some further =
details will be sent to you over the next couple of days. If you didn't =
manage to get to signup last week or were worried about that essay or =
some other rubbish excuse then don't fear it may not be too late! We =
will hopefully be hiring a coach so we can keep signing people up until =
the places are full so if you want to come then email me on =
ms9464@bris.ac.uk and we should be able to get you on it.=20
If you need reminding what it is then is THE epic UBES event of the Year =
involving a day of fun in the Mendips Hills followed by a black tie =
house party in the evening and all for a cost of =A310 to cover =

WHERE: 10 Chapel Green Lane, Redland, BS6 6UA=20
WHEN: This Saturday (3/12) evening from 8.30pm
WHAT: Black Tie or anything closely related
HOW: There will be free booze but if you are looking to have a SUPER =
night you will probably want to supplement this with some of your own as =
well.
Feel free to come along even if you didn't make it to the day but please =
don't bring all your non-UBES friends as my house is limited in size!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
3) Christmas Meal Signup (This Wednesday - LAST CHANCE)=20
