Jumping off the top...



...of the year!
It is the end - of term and so there is no official meeting on Thursday 21 December, but there are a few things we didn't get round to finishing, or even properly starting!

I will be at a loose end on Thursday - what to do with that gaping hole in my schedule?! A desolate wasteland of an evening! It would be driving me up the walls...



So... I thought some of you might like to sort out your DofE routes and dates, and also we decided to enter the rocketry competition again, but better prepared (which means we actually have to build it a bit earlier and think about how to be better).


I propose to be 'at home' on Thurs to help with rocketry things say 5:00-6:30, and then DofE things say 6:30-8:00 if any of you are able to get across and move things along. If you come for DofE prep, come with a list of w/es in March that you are able to do your practice expedition.

Also - now is the time to sign up for Scotland if you want to do the Winter Mountain Week in Glen Coe (so long as you have been coming to the regular walks and are known to the group).



Meanwhile, have a good break if I don't see you on Thursday, and we will meet back on Thursday 11 January 2018.

Climbing the walls on 14 December

It's end of term nearly and we will have or end of term activity at The Activity Walls at Climb The Walls at Harlescott - more like fun challenges than serious Bouldering!



Please book yourself in

Arenig Snow

It'll be all white on the day! We are hiking on Arenig Fawr on Sunday - details below, but when I tell Richard who's going I'll see if some or all of us can be collected en route.




Could be our first snowballs of the SBSMG season!

Great Boreatton Bake

Its cold and dark so we need filling up with energy (aka chocolate) - the meeting on 7 December this week will feature our regularish Bake-off competition... 
I will set a technical challenge but bring your own ingredients and utensils to make your festive showstopper!

Our masterchef at the end of the meeting will bask in Glory! and the worst baker will have to eat their bake...
