Welcome

Welcome to the hiking club website, where you can find our trips and socials programme, photos from our recent events and information for club members.

The club is one of the biggest and most active societies at Loughborough Students Union. Our programme has included day trips to the Peak District, weekends in the remote hills of Wales and the Lakes and holidays in the Scottish highlands. Not forgetting our vibrant social calendar, which has seen paintballing, go-karting and BBQ's; in addition to informal drinks at the union.

Trips cater for a range of abilities and members include hikers, walkers and scramblers. It doesn't matter if you are an experienced mountaineer or new to hill-walking, all you need are some walking boots, waterproofs (more often than not) and a sense of bant!

See the trips page for a preview of the upcoming year. LSU Hiking club is a great way to meet new people, get outdoors and have a laugh!

AGM & Committee Elections

Committee Nominations:

The current committee's tenure is coming to an end, so it’s now time to dump the mess on another set of unsuspecting victims! Officially, the committee changes over on the 1st March, so our AGM will be on the 16th February in J0.02 (EHB) at 7pm. We need as many members as possible to attend in order to make the vote count!

The following positions are up for election:

- Chair

- Treasurer

- Secretary

- Trips Co-ordinator

- Social Secretary

- Publicity Secretary

- Kit Secretary

- Webmaster

A description of what each post involves is on the website (http://www.lsuhc.org.uk/committee.php) under 'Committee profiles', or feel free to contact the incumbent or Abby if you'd like to find out more.

If you'd like to run for a position, send secretary[@]lsuhc.org.uk an email with your name, the position you'd like to run for, and a paragraph (200 words max) laying out why you would like to be elected for the position. Before the AGM, we will compile the nominations into an email so that all the members can see who is running for what.

The deadline for nominations is Sunday 14th February 2010.

Running for committee is a really good way to keep involved with the club, and looks great on your CV.  If you have any questions about the process, let the committee know and we’ll try to clear it up.
