I have finally sorted out the club meal for this term, next Tuesday (the 5th April) at Light of Asia. Unfortunately we cant take our own alcohol in but if you take your NUS cards (library cards) then we get 10% off food!!!
Let me know of you can come as i need to give firm numbers to them soon.
Theme will be flamboyancy, therefore more or less anything ridiculous you have or can find. This will give you more freedom and you don’t have to go around looking for a costume and spending money. The IDEA IS TO LOOK AS STUPID AS POSSIBLE!
It’s just over a week until Cave of Forgotten Dreams is on at the Arts Centre. Remember to buy your tickets soon.
A ticket is £8 for students and for that you’re gonna get an awesome 3D cave film and a live satellite streamed Q&A with the director, Werner Herzog, after the film.
There are around 8 of us going at the moment and as it is on the same day as the social I think it would be cool if a few more of us went. It’ll be worth it! Check the trailer out below:
Hi guys, it’s time to choose your Mr Men costume for CHECC.
Basically choose a Mr Man or Little Miss from the list below and dress up like them, and also have something so that people can tell which character you are. Comment on the post to say who you want to be (try not to get the same as somebody else!)
There’s been lots of emails recently, so to summarise:
CHECC – is on 26-28th Nov and will be a fantastic weekend away with other uni clubs up in Yorkshire. Cost of the event is £20 (excluding transport), so please bring this to the social tonight if you want to come so the booking form can be sent off.
Hoodies – will feature the ACC logo opposite and be dark green. £23 at the social please if you want one. Nicknames and sizes will be taken from the list in log book so make sure it’s all correct.
Tonight is the first social since moving to a Tuesday (Fountain @ 9 as usual). There’s a fancy dress theme of ‘cartoon characters’.
If you drank far too much last night and forgot, it was agreed that socials at The Fountain will now be held on Tuesdays…starting from next week (26th).
The committee have got plenty of caving trips planned for this term – weekends to try and keep free:
16/17 Oct – SWCC (Big hut on the doorstep of one of Wales top caves) 6/7 Nov – Belfry (Best hut in Britain, close to the ‘Centre of the Universe’. Priddy fireworks on the Saturday) 27/28 Nov – CHECC (Annual student caving seminar, one event not to miss! This year in the Yorkshire Dales) 11/12 Dec – Whitewalls (On Llangattock Escarpment, close to the big cave systems Daren, Aggy and Draenen)
There’ll be day trips running on the other weekends this term…make sure you come to socials to get the latest info. See you at the Freshers Fair/first social.
ACC members walked 75 miles from Aberystwyth to the SWCC in Penwyllt to raise money for the Cave Rescue Organisation to celebrate it’s 75th Anniversary.
The walk, organised by myself, started on the 10th August and ended on the 13th. Five ACC members set off from Aberystwyth including Olivia Dawson, Chris Belton, Jonothan Lee, Josh Lasson and myself. Chris and Oli joined us for the first day but had to return to Aberystwyth for work and Dachstein preparations respectively.
The first night we camped in Daffyd Jones’s field near Devil’s Bridge and the second night, after covering a total of 40 miles in two days, was spent next to the Claerwen Reservoir. I had to head back to Aberystwyth on the morning of Day 3 after suffering from very bad blisters, which reduced my walking pace to a rate that would have seen us fail the walk if i had continued.
ACC have made the national press! Oli’s full page article about Aberystwyth Caving Club appeared in The Independent yesterday. If you didn’t manage to buy a copy then here’s the article scanned in. Click to enlarge, then click in the bottom right corner to view full size for reading.
