Plans for semester 2
Update – lockdown friendly activities for the next few weeks
Going to continue to put out walks once a week.
Discord weekly socials continuing and can plan some organised activities e.g. escape rooms, Netflix watch party, among us etc. as better engagement with properly organised socials, especially when used as a contrast to the normal casual socials.
Aim to organise more formalised socials every other week?
Going to also tie a meet the committee session into AGM where people can chat to us about roles as well.
Virtual orienteering events to continue as decent engagement, and beneficial for the development of those new to orienteering, which will be useful in future BUCS etc. Potential to do some online sessions where possible if there is some space?
Weekly strength and conditioning sessions will continue throughout 2nd semester as well.
Hard to do anything relating to climbing during lockdown but hopefully if restrictions ease later in the semester then we could get some small groups going to Sally in the Woods or elsewhere to go climbing.
Plans for some talks – currently AGM to be on the 4th March, and hustings on the 18th March
Aim for a orienteering talk for the 23rd Feb by Cecilia (GB runner) and aim to schedule some more talks in for every 3 weeks so 9th March – David Coley and aim for 6th April – Jesse Dufton?
Possible other talks – walking gear/layering, wild camping, BUMC alumni
Charity event
Collaboration with athletics – create group and see how far we can ascend in a week
RAG usually set up a group fundraiser on virgin money that we direct people to
Decided to raise money for Patterdale mountain rescue
Update - Speakers
Jesse Dufton has agreed to do a talk just before Easter (15th April) but would prefer to do it sooner
Ideas for future talks:
Karen Dark – para-athlete and paralympian who does lots of charity challenges etc. although not sure about price
Decided against recordings as reduce attendance as people have less motivation to actually turn up, and hard to control where recordings go after so speakers may be reluctant to agree to recordings
Update of charity event
Complexities re: what we are allowed to fundraise for with RAG – is Chris Lewis fund registered as enough of a charity for RAG to give them money?
Could see if we are allowed to transfer money to Patterdale mountain rescue as a whole and then tell them what we would like them to do with the money
If unable to give it to Patterdale mountain rescue, then we can just raise money for RAG’s Big4
