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
Who wants a UCDMC hoodie??!!
We are gonna be getting a FIRE/RED hoodie, with JET BLACK lining in the inner hood.
The UCDMC logo embroidered on the left breast in black thread.
These will be selling for ONLY €20!!
Would be cool if we all had them heading down to the Intervarsities!! I will be taking orders until February 17th at the wall/hikes so if you would like one give in your €20 and size to a committee member.
Sizes available are S, M, L, and XL. (S / 36” M / 40” L / 44” XL / 48”)
(If you have long arms I would suggest getting a bigger size)
Thanks,

It's going to be a formal barbecue with free cocktails on arrival to put us in a party mood

Its a great chance for everyone to ditch the hiking boots and climbing gear and glam yourselves up - formal dress!!
Just talk to anyone about how super last years ball was and they'll tell you tales of great food, an epic battle over someone's sock (still baffled by how that began :-)!!) and oh the dancing with the elderly indoor bowling grannies next door!!

The Club's Bouldering Competition will be held this Thursday the 25th of February. There will be routes with something for everyone set by the amazing committee for your fun and frustration!
So come along and give it a go, the focus of the night is showing people the fun of bouldering, and we'll be heading to the bar afterwards so come along if you can!

We'll be watching Ricky Bell's Underdevloped in the Blue Room upstairs in the student center. We have permission to drink so bring booze! We have the room from 19.30 so we'll be heading over after the session at the wall.
The Club's Bouldering Competition will be held next Thursday the 19th of February. There will be prizes and celebrations.
Our first movie night is on Thursday 6th Nov in the Blue Room in the Students' Centre. It's an excuse to chill out, socialise, and laugh at a Hollywood movie! Starts at 7.15pm (ish). Bring your own refreshments!
