Got a burning desire to pursue a fabulous expedition but need some backing to make your dream a reality? Come along to the clubrooms on Tuesday the 8th May for the official launch of the MUMC 2012 Adventure Grant!

The grant provides up to a total of $2000 to a team/teams of at least two MUMC members to assist them in realising their grand plan.  The launch will include the premiere of several short films by MUMC members of recent adventures, as well as some suggestions for potential adventures and details of the grant application and assessment process.

Mountaineering is a somewhat foreign concept for people in the flattest land, yet we are a mountaineering club.

Come to the clubrooms at 6.30 on Tuesday May 1 for a short (audio-visual) presentaion outlining what mountaineering - the environment, climbing and logistics - is like; what is involved in organising yourself to start climbing in the mountains; &  what programs the club will be running this year to get you climbing.

PLEASE NOTE THE TRIP MEETING IS NOW AT 7PM.

We're producing a climbing guidebook for Cape Woolamai on Phillip Island, and we're looking for talented photographers and independent climbers to help us out. Our first guidebook-related climbing trip is planned for 28-29 April.

From the 24th of April - 27th May there will be a kayaking progression. This is aimed at beginner kayakers who want to build up their skill in kayaking. Starting on a very easy section of the Yarra River, over 3 weekends (with regular pool sessions in between), we will quickly progress to more difficult rivers and finally complete an overnight river journey down the Mitchell River (Class III). At the end of the progression we hope that you will have learned many things including essential kayaking skills, river reading, risk assessment, overnight camping and much more. 

The upcoming nest box monitoring trip to the Lurg Hills on April 21-22 is not showing up correctly on the website, but you can still sign up here http://www.mumc.org.au/node/1224
