Brief description of original issue + update

Further action required from

1

Learn to

Belay on the weekends needs 1 more place

Next weekend needs more people to fill the slots

Cant run the slots unless the session is full

Posted on the pg chat and will mention to the surf club at social tonight

Ensure that the people who have signed up pay as they have committed to pay – so that tca definitely get their money

Learn to lead is full

Trad:

19th March campus session

27th April S. Wales session

Potential to ask other competent trad leaders

May need to move/ do s. wales session at the same time as Dartmoor as deadlines looming may mean leaders and learners might not have the time

Session with harri for more experienced leaders to be a paid session

Session with competent leaders eg Amy to be a free session for people with minimal trad experience

 

AM to talk to surf and postgrads

 

BB to look into MPV hire for Saturday session

 

AG to ask around for leaders and confirm Harri’s availability

 

SWUCCS

BB put out poll to see who might be interested

Expecting 8-10 people to go

The Southampton club are intending to go to Portland on Sunday if people have stayed the night – Southampton club have rented a scout hut which is first come first serve

BB to ask those in the group chat if they would like to stay the night

 

MPV drivers

Some interest for font which would allow us to have a 3rd mpv

The more people on the waitlist for learning, the more tests that will be run

Ideally get people signed up and learning asap

Driver with a personal van (with 7 seats) is in unknown condition and therefore should not be used as a club vehicle but is welcome to meet us there separately

Some potential drivers have mentioned that they would only want to drive on the trip if their friends are on the trip, otherwise they may not be interested. While this may allow for more spaces on the trip and overall lower cost, the moral ground is questionable and spaces should not be guaranteed to anyone other than drivers, organizers or necessary first aiders

BB to look into learning sessions

 

AM to talk to people who are interested in doing MIDAS and getting them on the waitlist asap

 

BB to follow up with potential drivers to confirm if they will drive or not

 

BUCS climbing

Great to have club tshirts

Talk to abbie/bucs about photos – none of any during qualifiers as we didn’t even have enough time to climb let alone take photos

Talk to abbie about costs for bucs - other unis don’t pay for accommodation/ transport/ receive a grant for it

BB to talk to other clubs

Admin seems to be going smoothly

WG to update at a later date
