UCD Mountaineering Club

Hey,

As most of you know, 2012 is the 50th Anniversary of the Club, and a great time to celebrate its achievements and those of its members over the past half a century!

In order to do this, we are hosting a 50th Anniversary Ball on the 30th March, 2012 in the D4 Berkeley Hotel, Ballsbridge. This would be a fantastic opportunity for the many generations of members to come together and remember the good times spent with the UCD Mountaineering Club, so we would be delighted if you could come along.

We are looking for any old photos from the club to make a slide show for the night, so if you would like to send in any at all to ucdmountaineeringclub@gmail.com this would be greatly appreciated!

There will be a wine reception, 3 course sit down meal and many surprises in store. Tickets are on sale for €50 per person.

Hope to see you there!

UCDMC Committee

Fellow club members,

It has been a fantastic year of climbing, adventures, fun and madness, and it is sadly coming to an end. But, summer time is on our doorstep, and its time to rack up, rock shoes on, and get in gear out on to rock! Were just back from our best wales trip yet, where we had fantastic weather to enjoy the amazing rock climbing, scrambling, and hiking we did over the few days, and a few mad stories to keep us entertained for a while!

It’s also the end of the UCDMC year, which means we take a look back over the last few months of mad adventures and, most importantly, gear ourselves up for the year to come.

This involves the election of a new committee for 2012/2013. All UCDMC members can cast a vote. All members who are UCD students, or who are leaving UCD this summer, are eligible to be elected.
The committee positions open for nominations are:

-Captain (To be nominated as Captain, you must have previously served on the
committee)

-Meets Secretary;

-Treasurer;

-Climbing & Equipment Officer;

-Correspondence Secretary;

-Assistant Meets Secretary;

-Training & Development Officer.

The constitution, which is available on www.ucdmountaineeringclub.com, outlines what each position entails. Those of us on the committee this year will also happily answer any questions as regards responsibilities etc. You must get a member to propose you and another to second the nomination. You then must sign the paper yourself and either give it to the secratery (Monika) directly, or put it into the UCDMC Post Box (Number 63) in the Student Centre on or before Friday the 6th of April at the latest.

The A.G.M

Best Regards,
Jonathan
UCDMC Captain
