Edinburgh University Hillwalking Club

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.

After a fantastic amount of people signed up for the mailing list at the Wednesday and Thursday Sports Fair it has come to our attention that a very small amount of addresses were written down incorrectly. This only counts for 7 out of 419 people so definately not catastrophic! However for those 7 of you; hope you check the website and see this message because there is really nothing else we can do. You need to resubscribe to the mailing list using the instructions here.

By the way, you count as one-of-those-seven if you are not getting emails from the club, the first one being one entitled "EUHWC: Welcome to the Hillwalking Club!" from Eva, our acting-president.

 

It may not be the Highlands, but Arthur's seat makes for a fine stroll and is a must for all new Edinburghers! Intended for people considering joining the club, this is a great opportunity to meet both current and new members. Meet outside the Royal Commonwealth Pool next to Pollock Halls at 14:30 on Sunday 20th September. Afterwards, we'll head to Doctors pub (Forrest Road - opposite the McEwan Hall) for some food kindly provided by the staff.

From today, Tuesday 15th September, onwards we'll be back at Doctors Bar every Tuesday evening for our weekly pub meet. Doctors is once again offering a discount on drinks when you show your membership card. If you haven't got a membership card yet, come along tonight and Erik will be there to sign you up. Membership is still £25 for a whole year and £15 for one semester, payment by cheque is much preferred. For all new members: remember that next week Tuesday 22nd September you'll get £5 discount off membership if you come along to our New Members Night!
