Do you think you've got what it takes to become the 2010 Mountain Masterchef?
All you need to do is get into a team of 4 or 5 and come up with a menu of dishes you want to cook. Judges will be awarding points for meals that are substantial, balanced and will give you the energy you need on the mountains. The meal you cook should be one that is possible with the resources you have on the side of a mountain. It is up to you to decide how many courses to do.
You will need to bring your own stoves, pans, plates, cutlery, water bottles etc. as non will be available at the unit. You will also require a sleeping bag and mat, as the real Mountain Masterchef can cook a gourmet meal from their pit! If you have any questions or need to borrow any equipment please email Simon.

So, we're trying to get as many Unit Members as possible to head to the Odeon Cinema (in Town) on Sunday 31st January to see this epic film.
As it is not yet released, we don't know times of Showings exactly, but we'll be seeing one in the afternoon.
If there's enough of us also who wants to go for a meal before/after, there's always Number 1 or Pizza Hut Close by ;)
So, if your free, click attending here and come along for a great afternoon. If you're not free, make an excuse so you can come along ;)
Hope To See You All There...
