J has just e-mailed round with his ‘Art Attack’ idea. As far as I can tell this apparently involves inscribing the word ‘thrusk’ 100 feet high on a Yorkshire hillside, using just wetsocks. He did this rudimentary mock up:
And he mentioned small black & white animals on ropes. So here’s another (arrestable) suggestion.
A quick reminder that the first trip of next term is Yorkshire, YSS, 28th April-1st May (first weekend of next term).
Out of interest, the image on the left is the desgin of the very first RUCC sweatshirt. Thanks to Alex Hanning of South Carolina, USA for sending this in.
The committee page and silly page has also been updated.
A special dispatch from our on location speleostaff: After hotly contested election action RUCC has a new committee!
Full details of the victorious candidates new are available here on Charlotte’s Web. There are also pictures from the night here. Over to you John K…
Following the um, success of Widget World RUCC now gives you Charlotte’s Web. The site will no doubt evolve over time as we await Charlotte’s ascent to stunt queen and her further random thoughts, but in the meantime it’s a start. I also think it’s perhaps the future of web design – a biro, Charlotte & twenty minutes in the pub.
Incidentally, how odd is it that the Mars company’s response to Charlotte’s request for chocolate is addressed ‘Freeby Lane’? Maybe they do have a sense of humour in Slough.
Don’t forget, next Monday its your chance to shape the future of the club. It’s ELECTION TIME.
Who will lead us forward into next year? Who will organise your trips? Who will take your money, organise your fun and look after your kit? 8.00pm, Sweeneys, next Monday. Be there. Be involved. Be a voting.
Finally, pictures to show that we’ve been caving and had fun this year! Thanks to Caitlyn and Henry P, we give you:
Wales, Whitewalls, February
Yorkshire, NPC, March
And finally, a few from the three legged pub crawl.
There are some of the best shots of the areas we go to in here, so take a look and reflect on how lucky you are.
Another week, another trip to the hut, and another couple of pairs of pants! These new pants will be added to the game that has caught the imagination of RUCC members the world over – NAME THOSE PANTS!
Are they your pants, or have you seen them hiding the intimates of someone you know? All entries into ‘NAME THOSE PANTS’ will be also be added to the ‘Shrine O’ Pants’ that we are planning as a piece of installation art in the hut.
This Friday we mostly went indoor skydiving in Milton Keynes, in honour of Marie leaving us. Next up – Charlotte wants to go bobsleighing. In Bath. Any takers?
Couple of other things – next trip is next weekend, and if anyone has any photos of previous trips could you get them to me.
Yes, it’s the competition you’ve all been waiting for – NAME THOSE PANTS!
Warning – Safe for work, but they may think you are a bit odd.
In other news, advanced warning – from summer onwards the club will need a new webmaster. If anyone’s interested, please have a chat with me.
New Year, New Adventures. Trips for this term:
South Wales (SWCC) 27th-29th January. Bring a saucepan.
South Wales again (the small but perfectly formed Whitewalls) 17th-19th February.
Yorkshire 3rd-5th March, NPC. This will be an SRT trip involving ropes and anguish, so get training.
And we still haven’t been to Devon….
