This year it was mainly based in the student triangle, with everyone arriving a little too early to Rob’s for the first course of bruchetta (catching him still getting ready!), then on to SCOGUI house where Aimée and Megan had prepared several different ‘posh pasta bakes’ (as Pete put it) to cater for everyones different tastes. Vicki produced a flurry of different desserts, with meringues, cheesecake and even chocolate cake bite lollypops! The final cheese course was left to Cain, and he didn’t disappoint. With a table full of cheeses and port, many, many toasts were given, wrapping up the evening.

Thank you to everyone who cooked, and prepared, and cleaned up, and most importantly… thank you to those who ate it all.

See you all tomorrow!

If people would be kind enough to post their photos to the LSU SCOGUI Facebook page, that would be awesome as then everyone SCOGUI related can see them! (or you can add them all on Facebook … but that might take a while!)

If anyone wants to write a post on the night, please feel free and I’ll get it posted up here in some form or fashion!!

Found a lovely SCOGUI picture made from glittery stuff by own very own Freshers Rep and Treasurer … it’s sooo pretty!!

from relative novices to experienced climbers, everyone tried out the walls, belaying, and posing for photos (Rob was having fun with his camera!)

Now I hope everyone has their dinner jackets and dresses ready, as Annual Dinner is this weekend! That means it is time to suit up, get fancy, and have fun with SCOGUI old and new!

Talk to you soon!

Some went for a unique taste, and some for appealing to look at; but the best cocktail of the night was awarded to Cain for creating the S-C-O-G-U-I (though you’ll have to find out the secret ingredients from him!)

I hope everyone is looking forward to climbing next week, and don’t forget to sign up on lufbra.net/scogui

Well done to all the Scouts and Guides for participating, it was a long night for some, but everyone managed to complete the route before daylight! (I’m kidding, they all completed it and were in bed before 2am)

Hopefully the SCOGUI members that helped out at Night Hike have now recovered from being worn out and sleep deprived over the weekend! Thank you all so much for helping out, but the biggest thanks go to James Waterworth for organising and running the event this year!

A two course meal followed by the awards and some home grown Loughborough entertainment was enjoyed at the Athena in Leicester. Although SCOGUI didn’t win any awards this year, we were nominated for the community award and had a lovely evening whilst being all dressed up. Congratulations to all the societies who won awards, they were all very much deserved!

After donning the ever-unflattering harnesses and climbing boots we headed into the hall, splitting up into groups of 3 or 4 and testing our mettle against the walls inside. Some of us got very quick lessons in belaying and learned quite how uncomfortable a harness can be at times.

Good fun was had by all and everyone left the building with a smile on their face. Unfortunately, no-one was sensible enough to bring a camera with them, so there are no pictures from the night.

Thank you very much Vicki for organising the event, it’s a shame you were not able to attend to see everyone enjoying themselves.

The idea is that they show that SCOGUI has a little something for everyone and I hope to use some of these photos for publicity material.

See more photos in the Gallery.

Good luck to everyone during the exam period =)

The terms plan has been put up and includes some very exciting activities such as (2 week early) pancake day celebration, ready steady cake and a blindfolded trail through the woods…. and tonnes more! Visit the calender to see everything we have planned!!

Good luck again!
Remember, if in doubt the answer is always B or 42.
