Hello dearest Wayfarers,
Welcome to the first Wayfarers Weekly of the year both Wayfarers new and old. As a new term dawns we have a lot of exciting events coming up that are sure to satisfy everyone. We have a social this week followed by a walk this weekend so hopefully we will see lots of you then! We also had the taster social yesterday which was lots of fun and it was great to see everyone who came along.

Malvern Hills
6th October
NOTE: For this trip and all future trips and socials you must be a member of the Wayfarers!
This is our first 'official' walk of the term so we thought we would head on over to the Malvern Hills for a lovely day walk. The Malverns are a striking range of hills not far from the university and they are a firm favorite of the Wayfarers. We will be starting at Colwall station and then we will walk the ridge of the Malverns with the aim of getting to the Worcestershire Beacon. Then in true Wayfarers style we will somehow find ourselves in a pub before heading back to uni.
How do I sign up?
To sign up for this trip you can either go to our in-person sign-up session or you can sign up online through this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/malvern-hills-tickets-50737273551
In person sign-up: 04/10- 12:30-13:30 in the Harvey Milk room in the Guild.
What do I need to bring?
- Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes (that you don't mind getting muddy)
- Lightweight trousers (definitely not jeans!)
- Jumper and/or other layers
- Waterproof coat and trousers
- Packed lunch and water
- Cash for emergencies
- A rucksack to carry it all in

Clent Hills Trip Report
Almost 70 excited people came to the Clent Hills to taste a bit of Wayfaring. The weather was amazing. A sunny bright blue sky was present above the walking bodies of the Wayfarers. They went up the hill quite fast, making the view at the top literally breath-taking. Then it was time for a well-deserved lunch by the little cafe, to go to the real top afterwards. Whilst most people were enjoying the view, something very special happened. A proper marriage proposal on top of the Clent hills! Perhaps the first one in Wayfarers history, we should dig into our archives. Then there was also time for a group picture, with the fantastic new orange Wayfarers flag. How fabulous!

If you have any interesting hiking experiences or some nice pictures, please feel free to send them to us. Then the happiness can be shared in the weekly!

Sign ups
To come to a walk, you need to sign up. Sometimes this can be done online, but often (especially when payments are needed) you need to come to one of our sign up sessions in the Guild of Students, as listed in the right-hand column of the Weekly. If you can't come to a signup, you can send someone else. Every person can sign up for one place.
If the limited places on the trip are taken, you can be put on the reserve list. If someone drops out, the people on the reserve list are contacted in order of signing up. Unless it's a last-minute drop out, then everybody will be contacted at the same time and the first person who replies gets the place.
If you drop out, you will only get refunded if your place can be taken by a reserve candidate.
Membership
For all our walks you will need to become a member of the Wayfarers. We are one of the cheapest sports societies with membership for the year being only 7 pounds, which gives you access to all of our trips and social events throughout the year!
You can become a member of the Wayfarers through our website, the link to our website can be found at the bottom of this email. Click on the 'Become a member' button, follow the instructions and hey presto you're a Wayfarer!
