Actions

- Action for EW to reach out to RockFacs to see if they will do a deal for Summer Trip
- Action for JI to ask for the kickback that we have gathered from socials
Wednesday Climbing
- This week no one showed up, so there will likely not be any more club-led activities after this week so people can prepare for exams.
Font 2025
- Easter is late next year (2025), essentially is directly before exams so the date of Font potentially needs to be moved
- Action for BB and AM to discuss with the next climbing secs now to see what they would like to do about this
Font 2024
- Trip went well, although weather was not ideal!
- Sofa bed option should be offered as a slightly cheaper option for Font next year, as this year rotating on these sofa beds was annoying as there was lots of room swapping.
Learn to Trad
- Learn to Trad was held last week in South Wales and went very well!
- This was held as more of a meet-up and Splitwise was used to split the cost
Budget
- Joe presented the google sheet on the BUMC Cash flow for the year
- Everything seems to be on track so far but the MPV payment will come out in one big invoice at the end
- On Font there was some damage on the MPV
- In the club paperwork the club is liable for at least half of this
- The club will likely pay all of this as Font was cheaper than expected, but this will need to be confirmed
- The chair was in the vehicle and confirmed that this accident could not have been avoided. If this happens in the future, this should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
- As there was extra Trip budget left over this year so there may be scope for an orienteering trip next year
- BUCS subsidy – the SU has suggested that they are raising this. The club should request more budget for BUCS next year.
- Joe has suggested that there may be up to a £800 subsidy for summer trip.
Incidents
- All leaders on trips should make a detailed log of trips after they happen (even if there are no incidents) for future reference.
Dartmoor
- This is going ahead this weekend and weather looks good!
Summer Trip
- We may need to more tents but we first need to ask people if they are willing to bring their own tents
- Amy will hold a pre-trip meeting
- Action for EW to reach out to RockFacs to see if they will do a deal for Summer Trip
Summer Social
- Plan is BBQ in Victoria Park
- Jack is still deciding whether to do this unofficially or not
- Action for JI to ask for the kickback that we have gathered from socials
T-shirt comp
- Emma’s Design won!
- We discussed which two colours we will choose to put the design on. (White and beige?)
- Tom is still deciding what stickers to use in the pack – some of the designs will need to be simplified
Handover Meeting
- There will need to be a meeting with both committees – this will likely be the 31st of May
