20th September 2021

ISB 2022

Update

Someone had to drop out due to COVID, meaning that we need to decide if we want to subsidise parts of the costs from the club budget. Everyone has paid £150 as baseline costs, and then it was decided to calculate the remaining balance after the trip, depending on petrol costs etc.. Everyone supposed to pay £320, so we would need to cover £72.17 if we didn’t refund the £150 paid already. No COVID rules specified. Proposed that £150 should be non-refundable but we will cover the £72.17.

Option 1 = refunding and covering it all.

Option 2 = covering £72.17

Option 3 = cover no cost

Votes = 11 votes for option 2. 0 voted for option 1 or 3. Nobody abstained.

JE to contact FL regarding subsidy for absent attendee

BUCS

 

Update

 

Climbing BUCS is sorted.

 

Money spent on BUCS fee, food and accommodation so would total over £100. Costing of BUCS Orienteering accommodation is a lot for 1 night. Staying in Sheffield as climbing but same price for 2 nights with climbing as for 1 night for orienteering. Open for everyone in the club even though it is BUCS, so would we be willing to subsidise part of this cost. Proposed to subsidise ~£3 per person, to bring costs down slightly. Total £38.50. Alternatively could make climbing and orienteering BUCS equal, but climbing doesn’t have a social associated, and staying at different location so costs will vary.

 

Votes = 11 votes for yes. 0 votes for no. 0 abstained.

Transport update

 

Update

 

MPVs for longer trips (not weekends) can be booked now, so we had one for ISB (£38 per day) and can book one for Font. Difficulty with booking due to taking them abroad. Also issues with booking ferry, as won’t have registration. May be able to get one for summer trip.

 

To train drivers, we only paid for 1 day MPVs hire and the fuel for that. This will come out of the club budget rather than the trip budget. Issue with training is that you can only extend hire rather than hire them for a single day.

23rd November 2021

Inclusivity Award

 

Current ideas for inclusivity events include liasing with GB paraclimber in Bristol, ColourUp Bristol etc. Other examples include womens only climbing events, beginners climbing training, navigation and training sessions, inclusive socials etc. Would be good to run a disability access climbing event but nobody in Bristol to run it at the minute. 7th March is the official deadline but would probably be fine if we have things booked in to happen by this time.

 

Update

 

Talking to a Charity called Bristol Inclusive Thrillseekers to try to arrange a talk. Ideally would tag it on as a social, and would be easier to do it on campus. Could open it up to others as well. Bring your own food and drink as a sober social. If Thursdays not available then any other day not Wednesday would be best. External speaker form must be completed in advanced time.
